How to run a 5k mud run by octoberclovered

"I felt so accomplished for getting through it!"

How I did it: I didn't completely run, to be honest. The one I did was the Dirty Girl Mud Run in South Whales NY. It was fantastic and full of 11 military obstacles. I got my friend, Mel, do it with me.

Lessons & tips: 1. Don't just assume you can go. I'm in decent shape and was sore and tired after-should have been working out!

2. Take a friend. It was fun with Mel. We're both more in it for the fun than being competitive, which was good for me. But if you want a challenge, have a buddy who will compete a bit and coach.

3. Do it for charity-it's better that way!

4. DON'T WEAR PANTS. But do wear knee pads.

5. Don't wear good shoes, but make sure they're sturdy-some of this stuff is tough and you need shoes that can grip!

a lot of fun! I would rather do this than just run around.
