One week ago {today} 6 friends went on a road trip to become warriors.
We had all the appropriate gear: old clothes, old sneakers, and a spirit ready for "the craziest frinkin' day of our life!!"
The night before we had a mini-carbo load at Chili's -- we were only running a 5K after all.
But not any old 5K....one that required guts, a sense of humor, and.... 
for some an outfit like this: 
That was a man. A picture from the front would have been too much for my PG blog.
Ryan and I didn't train much, but we knew that we'd have enough adrenaline to run 3 miles through mud, over walls, under a dark tarp, over a cargo net....
Through swinging tires, down a slipper wet {bumpy!} slope, over fire, and under barbed wire in the mud. You think this was gross??....
WRONG! It was AWESOME! Just look at my face!! 
Ryan and I started and finished together! It wasn't nearly as hard core as we thought, but it was still SO.MUCH.FUN! 
We were coated in mud, so when we remembered about the guaranteed shower area, we set off right away to find it. Surprise, the shower are is men on a top of a water tank with fire hoses. The water was freezing. 
But didn't mind!
We had better things to think about, like turkey legs.
Every real warrior eats a turkey leg at 9:30am. 
Ryan....check.
Erin....oh yeah. 
Scott....WAIT! What?!?Scott didn't get a turkey leg, but he's still a warrior in my eyes...he had the most facial hair.
We had a great weekend!
Even with a potential flat tire on the way home {it was just a false alarm, phew!}....
And some bruised up legs....
A Warrior once, a warrior for life.
