Kiss Me Dirty was a 5K obstacle course that benefits breast cancer awareness. Brandy talked me into going with her and I talked my friend Marcy to go with us. It was soo much fun. We started out running and got through the first obstacle which was a sprinkler spraying sideways from the fence. That got some water on my shirt, kinda anticlimatic...I gotta admit I was a little disappointed. From the start line you couldn't see the whole course though so I didn't know what was ahead. The next obstacle was a log wall. Brandy jumped over it, Marcy jumped over it, I attempted to jump over it but as I was teetering on the top log my spaghetti arms gave out on me and I fell backwards and I'm pretty sure I twisted my ankle. Not a big deal though, it was the third time I had twisted that silly ankle. At that moment I thought what would Chuck Norris do? So I got back up on that sad little ankle and ran around the side of that log wall!
After that we walked for a while. The path went from dirt trail to rock trail and we all talked about how we can't run on rocks cause they're too uneven. TB&M! (Thanks Brandy and Marcy! for making me feel like I wasn't the only one who wanted to walk) Then it got fun. There was a big puddle we had to cross, the water was just the right height to make it look like you wet your pants. After that there were some trenches to jumped over. I walked around the side of them like a champ! There were giant tunnel things to crawl through, that was way fun, I felt like a kid again.
We came to a wall called Who Needs a Man? You could either scale the wall on your own or there was a man there with a step ladder to help you over. If I remember right all 3 of us needed a man but I think I needed the man the most. Oh well, at least I made it over the wall and off to the next obstacle before Mike could get a picture of that! We walked a little further til we got to a stadium full of mud and water. Everyone else was throwing mud and splashing around but Brandy and Marcy and I are waaaay to mature for that. I might have got a little mud on Marcy but that was in self defense, and don't even refer to the video Mike took because from his angle it looked like I started it but you know how it is with camera angles! We were all covered with mud. I have to admit that at my muddiest I gave Brandy a hug to thank her for sharing this with us. But I really do love her and I really was thankful!
I want to do it again next year. I had so much fun. I got twisted my ankle, got mud in my mouth, took water from a skinny guy in a speedo and ran through soap bubbles. One of the funnest days ever!
