Mud, Sweat, & Cheers 5K Obstacle course

This 5K consisted of running through tires, jumping over barriers, climbing over a rope bridge, jumping over large, round hay bales, climbing a huge hill, and climbing through the mud pit. It was a blast!
David going through the mud at the end - he dove into the mud pit.
 
Right after the 5K - before we cleaned off

With friends from work. David's shirt was white.
 
Cleaning up under the fire hose
 
After cleaning up
 
 Mud, Sweat, and Cheers Run--David, Parker, Michael
Michael got 1st place (out of 1) in his age group in the 1 mile run.
They LOVED this one.
 
 
We've had some fun this fall running around.  Notice that I am absent from all photos.  I did go to the Eastman Run--because they were serving a pre-race pasta dinner!!  David has really gotten the older kids into running with him.  They have had lots of great times and a few sore muscles.

Wow, your family has had some fun fall adventures. Sorry you haven't been feeling well. I wish I could just pop in to visit and help out. Just heard your baby news. Congrats! Hope your recovery goes well.
