RUGGED MANIAC

Several months ago these guys signed up for the Rugged Maniac obstacle course and mud run.

This was Mike's first time.

I have to mention that over the past couple of months he has been working out and eating a lot better and has lost quite a bit of weight--AND enjoying the process!  I think this was kind of a fun thing to work towards as well.

It was a beautiful day, (not sweltering hot) so we all packed up and headed down about 2 hours from us to cheer them on!

Waiting in line.

Apparently the groups go in waves--theirs started at 1:15pm.

The rest of us walked around some of the course--we couldn't see all of it, but here are some of the things that we did see.

Kids watching them crawl through the mud.

For the record--these rings were quite slippery and they both went in on the first try.

Having fun

Finished the course and collected their medals!

Congrats!

Personally, it didn't look like much fun to me--but I'm preeeettttyyy sure that they're planning on it for next year again.
