Camp Pendleton Mud Run June 7, 2008

Did the Mud Run with Rob, Lee and a couple of Rob's co-workers. SO MUCH FUN. 10k, which equals about 6.6 miles. It was at Camp Pendleton, near San Diego. We woke up at 4:30 am, left by 5, and met up with his friends at the Oceanside Dennys. Grand Slam for breakfast, then up to the site to park for the race.

Had no idea what to expect - have never done anything like this before - and it was fantastic. Apparently it's the same track the marines train on (but they wear their utilities and boots). We ran (and walked) over hills, mud pits, and several 5' high mud-covered walls and through a lake (water up to my shoulders!) and a few fire hoses. CRAZY. I've attached a course map, but it's misleading... I don't see my lake-crossing on there. Too muddy to bring my camera, I was only able to get a couple before and after shots. We are doing this again next year fo' sho'!!!

Here's the website. I didn't win, nor did I come in last. http://www.camppendletonraces.com/mud_sat.html

Who I am

Well Hello! I am Audrey, a 30-something female, living in Los Angeles with my boyfriend Gordon. I am a Production Manager for private events. There's a bio on my company's website, if you know where that is. Maybe someday I'll share.

Anyhow, I've started a few of these blogs in my days, but have had no follow-through. Really. I started out with "she is a fraction" with my best friend Rob, but haven't posted anything in 3 years. Really. And now I've tried to add to that one, but can't remember the old log on info, and it keeps sending the password info to an e-mail address that is now about 2.5 years old. I'm working it out. Well, working it out by starting over with a new blog that I'll probably update for a week, then ignore for 3 years.

I was inspired to start again because I am currently on my first trip to Europe. Well, France, with a layover at Heathrow. But I think that counts. I'm working on a couple of events for the Cannes Film Festival and thought it would be fun to track it and post updates for the friends and fam. Let's see how long I can keep this up....
