Warrior Dash

On Sunday, Ryan and a bunch of our good friends ran in the Warrior Dash which is a 3 1/2 mile run and obstacle course. We signed up in February when cabin fever hit us all hard and we were dreaming of anything involving warmth and the outdoors. Well it turns out come June, I am still not a runner.....! I can elliptical and spin with the best of the them but running is so not my thing. I opted out of the race and hung with Nicole's parents and baby Ryker and played role of photographer/holder of Layla. I have to say I enjoyed myself thoroughly from the sidelines.
Here are a few pictures of the course:
There were haybales to climb up and down (Nicole is way up high, Kris is running down)
Ropes to climb up and down (this is Ryan)

Mud to crawl through

More mud to crawl through

and lots of friends to enjoy it with (click on the picture to see names above the heads). The group stuck together on the course and ran and obstacled together which made the whole event more fun for the eight of them and a tad easier for me to photograph!

Layla had fun with the warrior hat
Correction...Layla and Ryker had fun with the warrior hats :-)
Now I am feeling like I should go out for a run....or maybe not!
