Warrior Dash

I ran the Warrior Dash a few weeks ago. It was awesome. It is basically a 5k through mud with obstacles. A 5k doesn't seem like much, but it was exhausting. Running through mud was insane. People were losing their shoes as they ran and there was so much mud, they couldn't even find them. When you got mud in your eye, there was nothing you could do, because your hands and clothes were all covered with mud. The obstacles were too challenging, but I was already so tired, it was almost a good thing. They were a lot of fun obstacles though. Running through fire, swinging tires, rope climbs, crawling on your belly under barbed wire. Seriously, what is that about. You'd think they could at least use normal wire, but no...gotta go hardcore and use barbed wire. It was such an awesome experience though. Will do one again soon.





It was not even worth trying to salvage clothes or shoes. So they collected people's shoes (if they wanted) and donated them to Africa.

Birthday Cupcakes

It was my roommates birthday yesterday, and like the amazingly sweet roommate that I am, I made cupcakes. A group of us went to dinner last night and then country dancing so I had the cupcakes for dancing. One of David's favorite things are Cadbury Eggs. So I added a cadbury egg to some of the cupcake tins before they baked. I was worried the eggs would melt and get all over the place, but it actually turned our really well. David said they were a little too sweet, but I am my mothers child and don't really understand what that means. Sooo good.

Lost River

Haven't posted in a while so have a bit of catching up to do. Back in April, spent a weekend in West Virginia at the Lost River Cabins with friends. Had a blast. Games, hiking, horse back riding, and LOTS of food!! Food seems to be a recurring theme in my activities.
