Mud Run

In 2010, my friend, Jess, and I participated in the Merrell Down and Dirty Mud Run. It was so much fun and we knew we wanted to do that one again. Last year, we didn't sign up because we were both pregnant.  So this year, we were determined to run again.  I believe for me it was not only about the race, but it was validating that I can stil do some of the things I did before having Maeve.

I think Josh knew how important the race was to me so he volunteered to drive me down, hang out, and take care of Maeve while I ran.  And it was a hot day!

Maeve still smiled at me even though I looked like this!

The crew


Maeve wore a onesie my dad and Gail had gotten her in Moab, Utah, that is dyed with the red clay dirt of the area.  I thought it was very fitting.

And matching shoes Nan made!
