running a muddy 10k

Denae & I decided to sign up for a 10k a couple months ago. Something to keep us motivated, and something to look forward to while at the same time kinda dreading. You know what i mean?
Anyways, so it had been such nice weather up until the week before- then the week of st. patty's day it rainnnnnned all week long. So when st .Patty's day came (the day of our race) the trails were muddy, slippery and wet.
There were also a lot more hills in this race then we were originally anticipating, so that also threw us for a loop a little bit.
Despite the wet, the mud and the hills it was a lot of fun, and we even got awesome medals~! not because we finished first or anything, although- I'm sure we were close :)

Evidence of the mud!
This hill was super slippery, that lady in the blue on the far left almost rolled down!


Like I said, it was a lot of fun- and made for some good memories.
