Would anyone would like to join me for the Mud Run on 10/18/08.

I already signed up.

My first mud run was in 06 and I was able to complete it. I think I was last for my age group. I started with the individual runners and then they all passed me. Then I just ran with the teams. It's really a ton of fun and I intend to do better this time. Plus I don't know how to swim, thought I was going to drown (the river crossing was not bad). Just froze when I jumped in the river. I did train for this by running at CCove.

You do need to sign up right away because it sells out fast.

I am not a runner! (just a little insane).

Pugzie? On me if you join me.

Now that sounds familiar. I was stationed at pendelton. If I can come up with the money soon enough to join, I will come. Rehash old memory's.

Thanks for the reminder!!

I did this two years ago and had a blast. My only regret was not bringing a beer with me to drink during the run. Shame on me, but that's a mistake that will need be repeated.

I am totally down for that, I will sign up once I am working again and have some money to spend on registration (I just can't swing that fee right now).

No worries pugzie.

We can get ready for this together.

Take our bikes to CCove ride and then run. I completed mine with a fractured foot. I wondered why I was in so much pain but was determined to walk out.
