Love the Mud!

This Saturday, Blake and I participated in the LR Mud Run. It was so much fun. Definitely a little harder than I thought it would be, but still a lot of fun. B did SO good and I am so proud of him. He ran almost the whole first mile (almost wore me out), a little of the second and probably the last half mile or so. We were so hot by the time we finished that the mud felt great! It was a little harder to get through than I thought it would be. Every time we took a step our foot would sink, and down we would go. As you can tell, we found that it was easier to crawl than walk.

I know I already said how proud I was of B, but I really am. He did such an awesome job. Hopefully, he'll want to run some more races - or at least the Mud Run again next year. We also think we need to get Noah in on the action. We were so excited when we finished - mostly because getting through the mud was so tiring. Mom, Dad, Melanie, and Jeremy were waiting for us, cheering us on which made it all so much better!

Sunday, Jeremy and I went hunting. We saw around 6 deer, two were bucks (though I only saw one of them). The buck was moving too fast for a shot though. By the time Jeremy got his gun in position he was gone. We heard a shot a few minutes later, probably someone else got him. Then a little one came up, almost all the way to the stand, walking around, eating - definitely not easily spooked. It was pretty cool watching it poke around in the grass doing its thing.

Afterwards, we visited with Phyllis which was really nice. Then we got home, watched TV, ate lasagna, and made Rice Krispie treats for my little dancers this week. Halloween parties and rain - what a great combination! Ha! Running tomorrow - 5 miles. Wish me luck! Only 4 more weeks. Wow.
