Kim and I ran the 10K Volkslauf mud run today. It was super fun. I had done it many years ago a couple times, but not since moving away from Bakersfield. We ran in a team with Ray Purcell and Courtney Purcell, and had a great time. The Volkslauf has moved sites, and had some teething issues with parking and having enough water for the runners. This 10 K has lots of mud, some long pits, tunnels to crawl through, and substantial obstacles to climb. Lot’s of fun!

Kim, looking tough.

It was great to see some of my old Hashing friends, even if only briefly. On-on!
