Warriors!

A couple of weekends ago, Aaron and I competed in a 3.4 mile obstacle race called the Warrior Dash (http://www.warriordash.com/). I am always looking for fun activities for us to do together and this one seemed like it would keep Aaron's attention. The 3.4 mile race included 9 obstacles, typical of what you would see in a military type setting. We had to climb up a 30ft cargo net, jump over fire, run across balance beams, and finally crawl through a mud pit underneath barb wire to finish the race.

It was so much fun and I am glad that we got to do it together. Aaron wished he could have run a little faster, but he was stuck waiting for his lovely wife, who after the first obstacle was struggling quite a bit. But he helped me to finish the race and pushed me to try my hardest. Afterwards, there is a big party with beer, food, and tons of people watching (my favorite thing). People dress up in crazy costumes for the event, so the people watching is great.

Aaron is already gearing up for his next obstacle run, a 12 mile race called the Tough Mudder that promises to be the toughest obstacle race in the country. It's next January so we will see if Aaron decides to do it. Check it out here: http://toughmudder.com/
