Today friends & I were doing the Mudderella

Not quite a Tough Mudder but tougher than a Dirty Girl

This is a list of the obstacles:

Me & friend Meredith

Team DETERMINATION

Tanya our AWESOME Photographer

Crawling in mud under a wire

Crawl through mud under wires set close to the ground.
You might muddy your manicure, but you’ll look awesome doing it.

Mudderella has the word ‘mud’ in it for a reason. Trample through some of the thickest mud on the planet in this obstacle. Don’t worry, mud is an exfoliant.

Who says you need expensive spa treatments to look great?

check out my face….ahahahah

Helping Meredith

Meredith, Michelle & Me

The three M’s

This obstacle requires crawling under netting
to make it up a hill

Teamwork makes the dream work
~ wheelbarrow your way up and / or down a hill

Me, Meredith, Michelle & Sharon

Are we having FUN yet??

Everyone knows you need teamwork to reach new heights. While you might be able to make it over alone, it’s much more fun to do it as a team.

I’m up to something here!!!

Swing from tire to tire to make it across without falling, timing and balance are key here.

Meredith, Me & Michelle

We did it 🙂
