Sweat, Mud, and Turkey Leg

Warrior Dash is basically a 5k running course with 10-12 obstacles. Sounds pretty crazy right? Well, congratulations to ME and BETH for surviving the challenge! Throughout the whole race we worked as a team! We hopped over junkyard cars, crawled under barbwire, climbed over hay stacks, rolled through mud and jumped over flaming logs...
We ran passed the finish line - TOGETHER!



After all that sweat and hard work... we were starving!
So, what is the best warrior fuel? TURKEY LEGS!!! I love turkey legs!  You know they serve good turkey legs when people actually participated the event just for the turkey legs ... that means I NEED TO SINK MY TEETH INTO ONE OF THEM SMOKEY HOT LEGS! Did I mentioned that I love turkey legs? oh yeah I did ha!




Oh and a nice cold Bud Light to wash down the turkey meat!!!  One of the benefits you get for participating the Warrior Dash was the ticket to a FREE BEER! Yes, you get a free beer for completing the run.




Green Sneakers!!!
The 2010 Warrior Dash season donated 50,000 pairs of sneakers, which translated to a $10,000 donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
