Volkslauf

Last Saturday I ran a race called the Volkslauf. It is a 5k ( 3mile) run that includes a lot of mud. There were over 600 people doing the 5k and 2500 running the 10k. In my division which was 12 to 19  year  olds I took 4th place and 155th out of all 600. Not bad for my first time and being one of the youngest runners. My time was 57 minutes. I ran it with two Other Ladies that I tried to stay with but lost them after the 1st obstacle. The obstacles included running up hills of mud, climbing over and under things, walking over a log (like a balance beam), climbing a rope across a deep mud trench, swimming in mud, and walking in mud for a half of a mile. There was a lot more this was just a few of them. The volkslauf was a run to raise money for the marines to put on toys for tots. The marines actually run this course. They were here to help us, if we needed it. I only got help on a couple of walls.
