11th Race: Run Amuck August 14, 2010

Location: Quantico
Registration: $30
Cause: U.S. Marine Corp.

Time: 48 minutes

This was a great, 3.5 mile race full of all kinds of Marine-esque obstacles such as flutter kicks, a wall climb, tires, jumping jacks, mud pits and army crawls all while Marines yelled at you in stereotypical fashion.  I have to admit this was a really hard race, it definitely proved to me how out of shape I was.  Thank goodness for Dean and Randy who stuck with me, I can't say as much for my sister, who when I had to walk just rolled her eyes and kept on going.  She definitely got the competitive gene in the family.  But I think I got the fun gene, bring on more adventure races:)
