Warrior Dash

After signing up for the Warrior Dash in Phoenix, my running partner bailed on me.

I thought about not going myself but since I already had the weekend planned I decided just to tag along with the ladies from the gym!

It was a very hot March day in Phoenix.

What an awesome cheering team we had with Hunter and Kiersten!

I joined Local Edge Gym in January and boy have I really enjoyed this gym.  Their CrossFit program is wonderful in it's own bad painful way!  The atmosphere is so friendly, encouraging and none judgmental.  It's the perfect place for me to workout!  I love all the coaches and the wonderful people that go there. 

These ladies are AMAZING!!!

Dayna & Lyle Broadhead, Jason & Maria Kouts (the Gym owners), Danny & Star McQuen, and ME!  I tired to not be in this picture seeing how it was all these couples and loner me.  But they all were insistent that I be in it.  They even left me out for a moment!  These amazing woman even bought me matching shirt and socks so I would feel included in their group.  

I would have been fine ether way, but it just made me realize what great people they are.  And just how thoughtful!

Hunter thought that the men's My Little Pony shirts were the bomb!

The Warrior Dash is a 5K run with many obstacles!

It was a great time!  The men were hilarious!!!  

We are about it enter the biggest mud pit.  You had to crawl under the bobbed wire so you really got covered in mud.

I am glad this was the last obstacle because all that mud really weighed you down.

Wonderful day, Wonderful people and a little bit of exercise!  Sounds like a great combination to me!

Thanks everyone for making me feel so included when it was a last minute thing for me to join your team!  I love you all!

My kids are the best!  They cheered us on, took pictures of it all for us and stayed together so they were safe!

That evening I took the kids to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast at Gammage.  We all loved it!

It was a fast fun weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it!
