If you haven’t already done so I highly recommend signing up for a mud run this year! I have done three mud runs so far and have had such a blast each time. I think H and I need to plan an Icelandic mud run for this summer, these Icelanders need to experience this muddy fun!
During these three mud runs I have learned a lesson or two in mastering the art of “mud running” (not sure if this is a real term but it is now). To share my wisdom here is 5 lessons I learned from mud running, hopefully it will help you in your future mud run.
1. Costumes help you run better, its a fact
Trust me there is no holding back to your costume ideas when it comes to these races. I have seen some awesome outfits from girls running in wedding dresses to H running in superman underwear, it all goes. One thing is for sure though you don’t want to be the one without a costume, when in doubt just throw a tutu on it.
2. Running with friends is way better than running alone
3. Bring a strong friend to help pull you out of the mud pits
I know this looks like an easy thing to do but trust me when your weighed down in mud and trying to climb out on a slippery muddy hill it is no easy task. If your a badass though and much stronger than me those strong friends can be useful for fancy poses after the race.
4. Something about falling in a mud pit will make you will suffer from uncontrollable laughter
And probably mud in your mouth, eyes, ears, pants…you get the idea.
5. Multiple showers and a box of Q-tips will be necessary to get clean
But your skin will baby smooth after your finally get all the mud off!
Bonus: Couples that get muddy together stay together
Take my advice and sign up for the nearest mud run near you, you can thank me later!
