I made it through my trail challenge race and what a race it was! It was probably one of the toughest things I've ever done, but boy was it fun! So the details are this:
4.3 miles of running through: streams, mud, up hillsides, down hillsides, crossing a log over running water, climbing up (with the help of a rope) a steep mud slide, jumping over logs on the trail and much more.
My finishing time was 48 minutes and 54 seconds (not bad for a newbe) and I actually placed 3rd in my age group! I was totally stoked! Brian calculated it after-wards and told me that I ran about 11 minute miles! That is amazing to me! It was so intense, I figured I wouldn't make it till well after an hours time! It was a blast though and I would totally do it again. There was also a 10 mile run, but I'm not sure I'll be doing that anytime soon. :)
My friends who ran too: (Right to left) Me, Hayley, & Ariel

I think that this is only the beginning of a long relationship with me and running. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even do a Half Marathon, but we'll just have to wait and see.
P.S. More photos to come of me actually running the race!
