New Adventures

On February 6, 2016 I completed my first 5k obstacle course!! 
I am so incredibly proud of myself for actually doing it and not
backing out like I would have in the past. 

I had a wonderful group of girls by my side and I do believe that without their support I would have found a reason to not complete it.  Julia Schroyer-Sims, Shannon Schroyer-Sims, Andrea Sralik and Carrie Bunch helped make up out team that we called The Cunning Puffalumps!!



I won't lie it was hard and I walked more than I ran but I completed it and
that is what matters to me right now.  Some people have referred to this
particular course as a "fluffy" obstacle course and I will admit that it is not a course that is going to push anyone to their limits...BUT I also believe that if the first OCR (obstacle course race) I had done had been so hard that I wanted I wasn't able to enjoy that event I probably would not be doing another one.   I am "insanely" proud of acquiring my first medal and I plan on getting a tattoo on my forearm of the date of each OCR that I complete. 

I wish more people would be willing to join a team with me and step out of their comfort zones and try something new and challenging.  My darling husband did agree to do my next one with me which is the Mud Run on March 12th!  I am REALLY hoping that some of my friends will join us in this adventure and get muddy with us!!
