Daddy does the MUD RUN

Trevor and a team form work participated in the Marine Corps's Mud Run on Saturday. (9/22/07). It's an annual event. The course is 4.2 miles and when they call it a mud run...Well, they're not kidding. It's 4.2 miles of mud...all the way! They even tape their shoes on to keep them from coming off because the mud is so deep! Their team finished third in the military division and 23rd overall out of almost 700 teams. Pretty awesome for a first timer!

And...They're OFF!!!



We took the camera and waited by the giant "PIT" so we could get good pictures of the guys doing the over / under obstacle. Marcey was less than thrilled to be waiting. This part of the race came after they had already run about 3 1/2 miles. There's no way I'd make it over those slimy, wet phone poles!!!










Yep...That's Trevor going for a dunk in the stanky mud!
