Bucket List #24- Do a Mud Run
So I’ve been a little busy but I haven’t forgotten about my blog. So better late than never here’s a post:
So if you don’t already know I have a pretty lengthy bucket list that I want to get through…before I kick the bucket. So this past Sunday I was finally able to cross one of those off the list. A few of my coworkers, mom and I signed up to do Merrell’s Down and Dirty Mud Run and the day had come to do it.

It was one of the most intense workout/races I have ever done. Before we stared the race we were all talking shit about it saying how it looked easy and there was only a little mud that we had to go through, we were very mistaken. The 5K took us into the hills of Castaic Lake and it was a beast. There were little obstacles that we had to go over, small walls, net ladder etc, but the “hike” as I would call it was pretty brutal. At one point we were literally going straight up the side of a hill. Once we reached the top of the hill there was one small mud puddle we had to go through and then just make it down the hill (the easy part). Once we reached the bottom we were almost done, we just had to cross the lake (which was pretty cold), use upper body strength to get over a soap covered wall and then last but not least cross a huge mud pit. Though it took my mom and me 58 minutes to finish, and I complained (I don’t like running up hill! haha) it was still all worth it and I’m ready for the next one. A couple of my sisters and I are planning on doing the Irvine Lake Mud Run in July, and we will be fully decked out in costumes….I can’t wait!!
