Dirty Dash Pictures

This is the before picture!

We didn't really have a team uniform just pink shirts with Dirty Divas on it and black shorts.  We already decided that next year we will have to step it up a little. There were some really awesome costumes that put ours to shame!

and me and my sister Jami

First big mud obstacle was an crawl over and under some pipes.  Rance dove head first and got covered right away.  I took a more delicate approach and managed to keep my head relatively clean except for the left ear which was soon covered in mud.

 There were a lot of fun obstacles including hay bales, balance beam type things, walls to get over, ladder type obstacles, ditches to wade through and a beer chug.  You could either chug a beer or a root beer or just skip it entirely.  You didn't have to do anything you didn't want to do.  I of course did not skip anything!

 My kids were waiting at the end to throw water balloons at us which they thought was great.

This was by far the cleanest part of the run.

I decided to take a flying leap into the final mud it

Even though it looks like I closed my eyes I still got mud in them!

Cannonball.. well sort of!

and the after picture!  This was so much FUN!

The rest of the team after

All in all an awesome experience and i would recommend it to anyone.  I can't wait until next year! I am definitely going to be buying some of these photos.  So glad they had photographers  over the course since I lost all my pictures.

I did an interval workout this morning of a mile warm up with 8x 1/2 mile sprints and a mile cooldown.  I really hate 1/2 mile "sprints"  mentally they are so hard for  me.  Give me 400m sprints any day.  But I know they are good for me so I do them.  I just didn't feel like I had any energy today. 

We had a very emotional meeting at work yesterday and it has left me feeling a little drained.  My energy just felt low mentally and physically today.  I even  just stopped and cried at one point, okay twice.  Ugh I hate drama, I hate stupid people and why do so many people sweat the small stuff. I hate meetings where people get totally off track and start attacking people.  WTH?  By even worrying about it am I sweating the small stuff?  I think a lot of feelings were hurt at the meeting yesterday including mine and I just don't even know how to approach it anymore.  It feels like we have been over and over some of these issues.  I feel like we are beating a dead horse.  Why are people asking questions about issues if they don't want to hear the answers.  Why do they ask for our input if our solutions are never utilized? 

Sorry for the rant, I wish it made me feel better...

Tell me something to cheer me up!
