Went and did the Marine Corps Mud Run on Saturday. Third time in four years. You get a team of four to go through a 4.2 mile obstacle course - up and down hills, through mud, up and down walls, ropes, cargo netting, phone poles, name it - if you 've seen it in the basic training part of any military film, it was probably in the course. Proceeds to for scholarships for the kids of Marines who died in combat.
We finished in an hour and 11 minutes - squarely in the middle of the field, 4 minutes faster than last year. Just knowing that I was able to finish it feels good!
The problem is that I now HURT like nobody's business. My shins are torn up, I've got shin splints, my quads are weak and sore, and the muscles across the top of my back are one solid knot.
I'm going to go buy stock in Bayer now...
