Mud Anyone??

This past Saturday, there was a family fun and fitness day out at Carney Park. To kick off the day they had a 1 mile family mud run, then a 5K mud run. This isn't exactly what I was expecting when I heard it was a mud run. I have seen pictures from some back in the states and they look so fun, but this one was just, either a mile or a 5K with 2, 3 1/2 foot mud holes in them.

I didn't run, I am working on running but not up to running a 5K yet, but some of our friends ran and John had to run in it. I went and cheered them all on, watched the kids and took pictures.

John was a little nervous because he has never run a 5K but he did great. He ran with the other CPO Selectees and they ran in formation so it was nice for him to be able to keep a steady pace with them all.
