Getting Dirty

It's official...I will be running the 2011 Delaware Mud Run on September 25, 2011.  The Mud Run is a 5K race through a mud filled obstacle course.  I have always wanted to do this and I have no clue why.  If you follow my blog, you know that I do not like to get dirty and I hate to run.  So...why the mud run?  I have no idea other than to say it looks like fun and sounds like a good fitness challenge and hey...it's for a great cause.

Last year a couple of friends and I decided that we would do that Mud Run in 2011.  I was super excited at the time but unfortunately a year later no one was available to do it.  One friend has a stress fracture, one is getting married and the last did not answer my texts when I asked if we were doing the Mud Run (that's you Kim Rigby...still love you though:-).  My husband had put together a team of his guy friends and I was just jealous so I put a message out on facebook to see if anyone would join me.  In a matter of minutes my team was born.

Team "Dirty Dancers" consists of myself, Terrianne Utley, Misty Yencer, and Heather McKinney.  We are all friends through dance and still involved in dance so we thought the name was appropriate.

I will be sure to keep you posted as to how it goes!  You can check us out at http://www.delawaremudrun.com/.  Just look for Team Dirty Dancers (I'm hoping to add some pics to our team page soon).  If you are interested, you can also make a donation to our team through that site.  All donations benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation of DE. 

Wish us luck...
