Rugged Maniac

I just finished another mud run, the Rugged Maniac.  I can't get enough of these races!  They make me feel like a kid again and it is one hell of a workout.  I have run the Warrior Dash 3 times so far, which is similar to the Rugged Maniac.  Both are 5K races filled with muddy obstacles.  Today, I climbed walls and cargo nets, crawled under barbed wire, jumped over fire, and made my way through a lot of freezing cold water.  The rain made the course expecially muddy, which only adds to the fun.  And of course it helps to know that there is some beer waiting at the finish line for you.  I don't have any photos from this race yet, so I will share a photo of me and my son from the last Warrior Dash I did (He is making a weird face because he said, "It smells like poop sandwiches here").  He was right, but that's not going to keep me away.  I am already beginning to plan my race schedule for next year and there will be several mud runs included.
