Warrior Dash and Willie

So guys last weekend I did the Warrior Dash Mud Run. Check out the video for it at www.warriordash.com.

It was so warm here in Hoover and by the time we got to Kimberly the temp had dropped about 10 degrees and there was no sun. But we were still pumped. The race was so hard. There were balance,climbing, rope,crawling, swimming- pretty much any obstacle you can think of it was there. My favorites were the 1st mud pit where I tripped and fell head first into the mud. One of my small group leaders was already done and moving on and he saw it all and yelled,"Dive on in head first Kristen! Way to embrace the obstacle!" Then it was so wet and muddy and my shoes and no traction it was just a huge muddy hike. The roller coaster hills covered the majority of the course and they were tough. I also liked the rope bridge. Don't know why but I did. We had to crawl through foxholes and swim through the coldest pond I have ever been in. Just when I thought we were close to being down we had to army crawl through mud under barb wire. I told a friend doing the obstacle that that crawl was so exhausting I had a new respect for the military. Then 5 guys around me yelled,"Thanks ma'am." It was really cute. After climbing a huge cargo net and jumping over real fire I was done and got a medal. I am so proud of that medal. I worked so hard for it! If you ever get the chance to do a mud run I suggest you do it. It was a lot of fun. You will be sore beyond belief but its fun in a weird way.

Then the next day was Talladega. I woke up so sore I could barely walk but really wanted to see some friends from Charlotte. After almost taking out a tent from not watching where I was going, we went to the drivers meeting. I wasn't paying to much attention (draft carefully, don't race stupidly, be safe,etc) and checking my fantasy football when they welcomed some stars of one of my favorite shows -Duck Dynasty. (If you haven't seen it check it out because it is hilarious.). I was able to get a pic with Willie and my day was made. I put it up at the bottom.

I also got to see a good friend of mine Robert. He took pity on my soreness and offered to let me sit on his pit box but I couldn't climb up (I was pitiful!). Allison and I did take advantage of the tires he had already run on because they were warm from the track and we were cold!

Guess that's all for now. Hope it's a good day!

Weekend fun

We had a work birthday Friday and I was asked to bake cupcakes for it. I was inspired by my bestie Ashley after she made these adorable cupcakes for her son's 2nd birthday. All you do is divide the cake batter up in different bowls. Then put different food coloring in each bowl and layer a tablespoon or so of the batters in the cupcake tins. It comes out tie dyed! I was surprised at how easy it was and how great they looked!

Then Saturday was the Alabama Vs Ole Miss game. When did Ole Miss drop the black bear? Anyway I added that pic with my friend Allison. Highlight was seeing the legend Coach Stallings!
