Warrior Dash

*Before I get into this post...I have an update on Mamaw! There is no cancer in her lymph nodes, and the lump they removed was very small and did not spread! She will have 5 days of radiation, then hopefully that will be the end of it! Praise the Lord!*


Last weekend, Doug participated in a Warrior Dash race at the Rose Bowl! The obstacles were hilarious to watch. I did not partake in the adventure, but volunteered to be his photographer instead.





I couldn't go inside the stadium, but one of the obstacles was to run up and down the stadium stairs 3 times. No thank you!


There were some hilarious costumes.

So I was sitting right in front of those big metal tubes, waiting with my camera for Doug to come through. I sat there for an HOUR and started to get worried that maybe he was not coming. I have no clue how I could have possibly missed him, but I luckily spotted him running on the other side of the race and ran to catch him at the next obstacle. He later told me that he thought we made eye contact and that I was smiling at him when he went through....guess I was a little spaced out!






I told Doug to wear something that would make him stand out....that's why he looks like this :)








Have y'all ever done a race like this?

    Second, those pictures are hilarious. I have never heard of a Warrior Dash, but that's awesome! The picture of Doug at the top of the cargo net is hilarious! Frame that one!

  2. I'll second Brittany's comment - I am very, very happy to hear that your Mamaw is doing so much better. You need some good news, and I'm sure your heart must be resting easier!

    I've heard of people doing Warrior Dashes (crazy fitness people, of which I am not). Good for Doug! What a tough cookie!
