He is starting to be a lot of fun! He smiles and will "talk" to us now. So much personality emerging! Oh, wow, well my little one stays where I put him for now...I'm sure he'll have me running soon too. How old is your little guy now?

Thanks for popping by the blog. Every mud run / obstacle challenge race is different. You train by training... and then race by having an open mind and a willing spirit. YOU are going to have a blast! Don't let anybody tell you girls can't play in the mud... and don't let anybody tell you you're too grown up! If I can do it at 59 1/2, you can certainly do this.

Have a ball, and tell me all about it afterward! emoticon

Thanks for the goodie and support. I really appreciate it. Life has it's ups and downs and even though it's been a bit down, I'm keeping my head up and staying strong. I know this will pass and I'll be better for it!

Enjoy your weekend!!!
