Rampage!!!

For my birthday Greg's mom called and asked if I wanted to do 5K with her called the Rampage at the RAC. 

I have NEVER done any kind of marathon so I was hesitant at first, but then watched the video on the web page found HERE and I was sold!! 

We're talkin a 5K that includes things like, a giant slip n slide, crawling through green slime, climbing up and over hay bales stacked 10 feet tall, jumping over cars Dukes of Hazard style, Leaping over fire and crawling through mud!!! Awesome!!

 So for my birthday she signed us up!! I didn't want to die so I started "training" (I use that word very loosely). I ran 1 mile 2-3 times a week, and had it down to a rough 13 min mile (not bad considering I ran a 10 min mile in high school....no. I am NOT a runner) a couple days before I decided I needed to run more than a mile, since it was a 5K  I was doing. I did a rough 3 mile run (I think we figured it was about 2.7ish miles that I ran) in about 30 mins, so I was feelin pretty good about being "ready".  I had no intention of doing this as a race. It was purely for entertainment, feel good about yourself, I just want to finish kind of thing.  I soon found out that my best friend and her husband had also signed up to do it as well.

 I was so excited and very anxious about doing this but when it was time to go. I was ready to run!!!

 One of the first major obstacles...

The "wall" climb

 Up and over!

There was a good jog between obstacles, but it was still very difficult!

The sand dunes

ever tried to run with your shoes full of sand?!

not.easy.

Onto the "toxic trench"

It was very cold, and very slimy

 

This is what we were crawling through

Yes. that IS barbed wire goring across the top, forcing you in to the freezing cold "slime"

the barbed wire was plastic

After we got out of the mud pit

I lost my number in the mud =(

 We finished in just over 50 mins!

 We had a BLAST and plan on doing this every year!!
Next year we are going all out in the costume department!!
