So this
weekend I’ll be taking part in the Dirty Girl Mud Run. Yes, yes I know I was
like “What?!!!” when I heard about it. First the name caught me totally off
guard, then it got me curious and then I agreed that the name was quite
fitting. Anyway, this Saturday hundreds, maybe thousands of women will converge
for a day of running an obstacle course that won’t test the limits of endurance
so much as it will courage and determination. Basically the “Run” will actually
consist of running, walking, climbing, splashing, bouncing and crawling- yes
crawling. Ha! Now, of course, you may be asking what in the world am I thinking.
Trust me, I've asked myself; and the girlfriends that talked me into doing this, that
very question.
In the
end though, the proceeds go towards supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and I am
so very thrilled to be taking part in something for such a cause. Checks can
always be written and will continue to be. My hope is that by putting myself
through this obstacle course, the importance of the cause will be forged by a
connection in my mind brought on by the exertion it will take to do more than
simply write a check.
While I
AM looking forward to a long shower to wash off all the grime; followed by a
long soak to soothe the muscles that will soon be screaming my name, I am very
much looking forward to stepping outside my comfort zone and doing something I’ve
never tried.
