MUD RUN 2009

The muddiest year yet.

One of our families favorite family traditions is the Mud Run at Fort Lewis. Every 4rth of July for the last three years we have gotten up early to run. OK Dave and Chase run and the girls cheer, and run all over the course trying to get good pictures.

Each year the Mud Run has gotten progressively muddier and longer. It started as a 5K (3.1 miles). Last year it was a 7K (4.4 miles). And this year it was an 8K (4.97 miles). The course changes every year too. They added the deep pit back this year. It is my favorite. there were more low crawls and I don't remember the tire obstacle.

I love seeing my boys do something hard together. Next year Emily might try joining in on the fun and it will become more of a family event. Not just for the guys. If I could find a photographer I would think about it. I guess I'll never have to worry though, not much hopes of hiring a personal photographer for the morning.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

The Boys in all of their MUDDY glory!!!
