Dirty Dash

Aaron and six of his co-workers signed up for the Dirty Dash. It's a 10k run full of muddy obstacles and crazy people who like to get dirty. To add the the craziness, most of the 5000 people who ran the race wore costumes. We saw everything from men in tutus, wigs, people wearing their underwear over their clothes, unicorns, girls wearing mustaches etc. Aaron went as a nerd accountant (not a far stretch of imagination right? hahaha). He got a three piece suit from Value Village, and cut off the legs of the pants and got a really tight white shirt and ripped the arms off (see pic below).
The only other man (Paul) who ran on their team!

Before:

The finish line:


Coco was sooo hot and sooo tired! Poor lil man!

After (most of the mud on him was dried by the time I finally found him in the sea of people):

The kids and I ran the 1 mile race called Piglet Plunge. Here is the results:






Lando the nerd.

I'm totally laughing at Aaron's outfit. And the rest of you guys are pretty funny too. We were invited to do a mud run last year, but the timing was bad, so maybe this year... it looks like fun.

Fun! So I FINALLY remembered to invite you to my blog and to look up yours! I love it! I already added your link on my blog. I hope you don't object. ;) That Dirty Dash looked like one good time! Glad you could do it! I also loved the Suncadia pics--especially the one of Aaron in his robe. Too bad you didn't get the picture of him drooling during his massage. That would've been even better.
