Groupon was having a 50% off registration fee to Boondock Battle, a 5K obstacle course mud run, so I checked it out and thought it would be SO much fun!! I immediately contacted my friend Emily who ran with me in a 10K Beach run last year, as well as the 5K Turkey Trot. She thought it sounded like a blast as well, so we signed up!
This was my very first obstacle course to run. I had the best intensions on training for it, however the week that I was supposed to start a crossfit training class; I had a flare up In my eye and was on doctors’ orders not to do anything strenuous. Then after about 2 weeks, I forgot… so I completed the Boondock Battle without training… but it was not easy, and I paid for it – and I was not able to run the whole time… but nonetheless, Em and I had a lot of fun!!!
The pictures crack me up! The camera was at the very end, where they have a HUGE mud slide. Em and I asked if we could together, which they should have told us no! We ended up colliding and it did not feel all that wonderful – but again, it was fun!

After I finished the whole course: 
We both agreed we will do it again next year (and I will actually train for it), and that we want to get a big group together to run it with us.We are now signed up for the Beach Palooza in September with a large group, which is a 5K Obstacle Course on the beach in Galveston. And I fully intend to train for that one as well!
