Race Day, Getting Dirty


 Back in September a group of the spouses in J's squadron decided it would be fun to put some of all our running to a challenge. So after a little research and discussion we decided to try out a 5K Dirty Girl sponsored race about an hour away.
 



 The boys came out to cheer us on.








 The organization runs in heats, but you are welcome to spend the whole day at the grounds. Registration lines were long, but was pretty easy to confirm your registration once to the front.




The wonderful ladies before getting dirty!



Talking game plan, as we had various levels of runners.



 In the shoot, with the rest of the ladies in our heat.




 Ready to go!


  Part of our cheering section.



One loop down, and still smiling! 



 Halfway done. We waited at each obstacle for the rest of our group, so that we could all complete it together.


 Heading out once more.


 One of the easier climbs.



 Enjoying the beautiful day and laughing at all the "dirty girls".




At the finish line!



Nothing like a little more mud.






Finished and looking pretty tough!





All done, sporting the shirt, and somewhat cleaner. Thankfully they had makeshift showers and changing stations for afterwards.
