Birthday: I’m 11 but I will be 12 on November 5th Events: Mud Endeavor II, Mud Endeavor Under the Lights, Hog Wild, Monster Challenges, ROA Fundays and Highlander V I love to run mud runs with my family. My favorite part about it is when I try an obstacle and get scared but finish it anyway. It makes me feel proud. My dad and mom always encourage me and so do lots of the other runners, even ones I don’t know. If you ever try mudruns you will see how friendly and helpful everyone can be. Sometimes I can’t do an obstacle but I always try. When my brother runs it really motivates me, he is 16. I love spending my weekends getting dirty and having fun on the obstacle courses. They are all so different that I could never pick just one. Sometimes my friends ask me why I go to these races and I tell them because they are challenging and it’s a great exercise. Being outdoors is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My favorite obstacle is the zip line and my least favorite is ice crawls, they are SO cold and hurt my hands but they are a cool idea and only last a minute or so. I am really working hard on getting over my fear of heights, I think if I just keep trying the tall obstacles and trusting the people around me I will be able to get through them in no time. I am getting better with every race. Well that’s a little about me. I hope to see you at the next event. MUDRUNFUN!!!
