Uncle, Uncle!! I can't keep up, clearly...

So much has happened since I posted for my hater brother in law, and I just can't take the time to do the posts...please forgive me, blog.  I am posting this for my grandma, who was shocked that anyone would want to run in mud.  Rob and I have been training for the Tough Mudder since June.  It has been very interesting.  The TM is on Oct. 13th, so we decided to do the Dirty Dash in Heber to get a feel for it.  It was 5.5 miles, where the TM is 10.  It really kind of freaked me out, but I am starting to feel excited.


This is Rob's younger brother, Jacob, Rob and I at the end...
 One of the many obstacles, I am on the top and Rob is just below me climbing down.
 I don't know who the green faced guy is, but I like his sense of humor!
 Rob and I are holding hands because we are just soooo in love, don't feel like your marriage might be inferior to mine, know that it is.  (If only you could be as mean as we are to eachother, your marriage would be as great as mine, ha!)
 We were clean once, sigh of longing.
 We had just realized that the woman with a baby strapped onto her, with a camera in her hands, was Jacob's wife Emily!
 Mud can't stop love, it just makes it a little gritty!
 This is Jacob trying to dunk me, because he is a dork,  See how Rob is just watching and not saving me?  Like I said, no need to compare your marriage to mine!
 It was a beautiful day, the mountains showing us some colors...and then the ice cold "shower" which was hoses.  Jacob liked torturing me there, too.  The showers were way worse than any of the obstacles, horrible ice cold water!!
The best part of training/running has been the power I have felt over this body of mine.  It has been surprisingly empowering to push myself past what I want to do or feel capable of.  I feel like I can do anything!!  But, right now dark chocolate and a few episodes of project runway on my comfy couch sound really nice :)
