Today I (Robbie) participated in the USMC Mud Run located on Ft. Jackson. Other than 20 pushups this morning, I really didn't train for this (regretting this now).
Here is my team . . . Only a Face a Mudder Could Love.
Christie, Joe, me, Michael
Here is my uniform for the run
We realized that Gov. Sanford (yes the infamous Gov. Sanford) was running 20 minutes behind our start time . . . we ran into him before the race.
1 hour and 17 minutes after we began . . . we crossed the finish line.
Look at those faces . . . we survived the USMC Mud Run!!!
Okay, you know the post would not be complete without some sort of story . . . so here it is. Our start time was 2:07pm. Gov. Sanford's start time was 2:29pm. We just kept telling ourselves . . . we cannot let the governor beat us. With about 10 minutes left in the course (4.3 miles total), as we prepare to mud crawl through a rice paddy, I look next to me and yes, there stands Gov. Sanford. My comment to him . . . "damn it Gov. Sanford . . . we had a 20 minute head start and here you are!" Needless to say . . . he beat us!
Ethan and Macy also got to participate in the Mud Run. They ran in the Pollywog run for kids and had a blast!
Here's the take off! Macy is the little girl in the sleeveless shirt and you can't really see Ethan because he's behind the other kids in front. This was the point that Ethan left Macy in his dust...or mud.
Here is Ethan trying not to run over the slower kid in front of him.
Here they are after the race. None of the other girls' hair looked as perfect as Macy's!
Here is Macy crawling through the mud. It only took a little coaxing.

I love it! Darn that Gov.-he's a quick one. And I can't believe how big Campbell looks in your arms. Holy cow she's grown!
Oh the abundance of jokes that come to mind w/ the thought of Govenor Sanford running thru mud. Was the Argentinian w/ him or was he chasing his wife? OR BOTH!
Hey Martha! Just read the comment your left on our blog. I was going to ask you some questions about OT. I know I have emailed you before, but can't find your email address now to save my life. Will you shoot me an email? heather_callahan@yahoo.com Thanks so much!
