I did it! It took me 14 hours to raise the required donation amount for the Jax Mud Run! Praise God for awesome friends who support me in everything I do! The Mud Run supports the MS Foundation and each runner has to have a $100 donation in their name to. On February 28, 2009, our team, Dirty 2 Shoes, consisting of five women will be running in the Multiple Sclerosis Mud Run Jacksonville. Mud Run is a 10K (approximately 6 miles) race with boot camp style obstacles that have been surrounded by or consist entirely of mud! I honestly had no idea how this would work or how I would get the money, but with little work on my part I am done :) Praise God for his faithfulness to see things through.
Now all I have to do is get some boots-combat boots, work boots, or hiking boots for the race. Anyone wear a size 8 1/2? I think I am going to start looking at Goodwill and places like that for these, so hopefully I will find some that are suitable for this event. I am already getting excited, but still cannot believe I am doing this! Why not have some fun and play in the mud all while supporting an awesome cause?

LOVE your team name!
Just think about your health as far as this mud race goes. Yes, praise God that everyone supports you but don't sacrifice your health for this mud race. The mud carries all kinds of parasites, ring worms and other diseases and if you have any kind of scrath, sore, or opening for your pump it may not be such a good deal. We Love You and Care.
umm thanks anonymous, guess it is a risk I am willing to take for a good cause :) BTW, who are you? I am guessing I know you since you said you "love" me...
