Texas Jailbreak





So a friend of mine ask me if I would be interested in running the Texas jailbreak? I knew this race was all about getting muddy and going through obstacles. I said why not. I had so much fun, and it's not your typical race. Sure if you want you can try to run as fast as you can, but it is hard with mud caked on your shoes, lines of people struggling to get over or up obstacles. So I just enjoyed my time and got muddy. People are so friendly and helpful. I had one obstacle that I stuggled with. I climb to the top of this rope thing. Once at the top you are supposed to swing around to the other side and come down. Well I just couldn't figure out how to get over to the other side, I almost gave up, but a guy coached me over. That was my only mishap. So next time I run it , I might know what I'm doing.


Before I got all muddy.




Let the fun begin



Climbing over a hay barrel.



Coming in!!!


One last time to get muddy, then here is my end result. Total time with 15 obstacles 56:02. Not to bad since I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Plus some of the obstacles you come up to have a line waiting to go over. So this is just a fun time and a chance to play in the nud. Next year I getting Cody to do it with me!!

Time flies by


Summer went by and now we are back in school. Time is just going by way to fast for me. Last night I took my oldest to a college information night for BYU. Lets say that I'm not ready for my boys to start leaving. I still remember them playing on my back porch in Allen.



Now they are going to be towering over me, I say by next summer. At least I have my little one to keep me going. He is my sweetheart. They were all once so sweet. Then one day they stopped talking to me and more with their friends. Oh well, I still love them.


I still need to post about some of our vacations, that will come soon. I haven't been on top of my blogging lately. Just have been busy with life.
