The Dirty Dash 2011

I ran the Dirty Dash for the second year in a row after scoring some free passes. Brought along friends and family to run with me. Tougher course with more obstacles than last time. Close to 4,000 runners competed throughout the day, with some opting for the 5K shortcut. This of course screwed up the results, but my official place was 75th overall. In reality, my time of 48:18 was somewhere in the top 25. This race is more about mud than competition--so on to the photos.

Soccer Night

Took Brayden to a Real soccer game recently for our monthly activity. (Thanks for the tickets Chris!)
