It may be some comfort to know that these toddlers don't really want to drive us crazy, they just want to understand how we work.

MS Mud Run 2011

I completed the MS Mud Run for the second year in a row.  I signed up with the same team, although we all crossed the finish lines at different times!  I found the course to be similar to last year, however a little bit more challenging, although we did finish the course in about the same time as last year.  I will most definitely do it again next year!!!
The event in total had almost 3000 runners this year and raised nearly $500,000 toward the research and fight to end Multiple Sclerosis.  Someone who I know from where I live has been living with MS for almost 10 years (she is 31) and she spent the ENTIRE day on the course grounds taking fantastic pictures of everyone coming through the end part of the race.
 Team "Down and Dirty"

 I am toward the back of the group, middle of the photo, blue bandana on my head.


 Here I am yelling "Woooooooo"  Can you tell?
 I lost my bandana in this plunge.  It scared me, I must say.


On behalf of her, and the many others who have been or will be diagnosed with MS....I THANK YOU for your support!!!!!!

Thank you for doing this! I can't wait to hear more about it.
PS, I'd still be on the top of the wall not able to jump into the muddy lake. ;)
