San Francisco, USA

Guess what we’ll be doing this weekend?

We’re doing the Survivor Mud Run!!

But wait! What is Survivor Mud Run?

“..something created TO TEST YOUR ABILITY TO RUN, CLIMB, JUMP, CRAWL, & MUSCLE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE MOST EXTREME 5K MUD RUN CREATED“

Eeeeek! I can tell that this is going to be SO. MUCH. FUN!!

Let’s see what kind of obstacles they’re talking about…

Ok, getting dressed up for the mud run? We can do that.

Making a gang symbol? Easy peasy.

Sliding through ditches of mud? Hey, done that!

Jumping over an obstacle in marine style? Errr…

Monkey bars?

Hmm…big problem. I couldn’t even do monkey bars when I was in kindergarten. Unless I can figure out a way to build up some upper body strength in the next 3 days (or how to cheat), I think I know where I’m going to get stuck.

This is the first time we’d ever done anything like this, but right away we thought it sounded like the most awesome thing to do. The last time we were neck deep in mud was in a mud volcano in Cartagena, Colombia although then, it involved less jumping and more about floating in the mud and getting massaged by random Colombians.

A day of crawling through mud, jumping into pools, followed by free beer afterwards? Sounds like a fun and dirty way to spend the weekend. Even if I have to sneak past the monkey bars section.

Cheer us on this weekend?
