I am NOT a runner.
But for some reason, a moment of weakness allowed for my aunt to convince me to sign up for a 5K. That’s 3.1 miles of gasping, sputtering, and struggling to keep up. The bubbles and mud were a major bonus. I thought at least I would be able to rest at the obstacles and have some fun every few hundred yards. And I did! Four of us ended up running the 5K Foam Fest this past weekend – my aunt, uncle, boyfriend, and me. It was the most fun I’ve had exercising in ages, despite being smack dab in the middle of a cold…and accompanied by a pesky side ache the whole time…
But the excitement of it all outweighed that – 30 foot slip ‘n’ slides, bouncy foam pits, and electric mud pits all for adults! Plus it’s sponsored by Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Not a huge fan myself, but their new Shandy is quite tasty. I would highly recommend the run for ANYONE (there were all walks of life in attendance – even children). I know if I’m around next year, I’ll definitely sign-up again!
