Mud Run Fun!

Sunday morning, we woke up at 6 am to 40 degree weather to participate in the 10K fort worth Mud Run.
It was a 10K run with 10 obstacles all in the mud. It was suppose to mirror a basic training course for the military.
It was insane!!!
First of all, I've never run 6.2 miles in my life, let alone compete in obstacles along the way.

One of the obstacles, we had to go underneath these logs in the freezing mud... like hold your breath and go under water. It was disgusting and the water was so cold, my heart stopped during it!
I finished in 1 hour and 30 minutes. I was with a group of 5 other people so we all complete it together.
However, my brother, finished 2nd in the whole race! He only lost because the guy in front of him completely ran around the last obstacles and my brother attempted to climb this 16 foot wall 3 times, before going around.
So, needless to say, he wouldn't gotten first.
I am so bruised and scratched from the race, and I'm still finding mud in strange places but it was the coolest thing!

Here are some pics.

Our team after we finished.



Me going through the 2nd to last obstacle. It looks like I'm about to eat it. I think I was but I was so tired at that point, I don't think I would've minded.

That's all for now

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

I hate Mondays!!!!!

Friday night I went to see Highschool musical with Bri. It was a great movie, the best of the high school trilogy by far! Definately made for the big screen. It was about the high school musical cast's senior year. So, it reminded me of when I was in highschool and everyone says, "You have the power to become whatever you want to become... ... Then, you start to think... I want to change the world... I will be 26 in one month and I have realized that when someone tells you that you can be anything you want to be, it is not necessarily true. I do agree that people create their own destiny and are forced to turn any situation into a good one BUT my life turned out nothing like I imagined it. Last night, Bri said she wished that her whole family lived together in the same house and then she started crying. I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I understood because I used to want to live with ANYBODY else besides my family. When I was in highschool I researched college...
