Tough Mudder

My sister Kelley made me sign up for a Tough Mudder, and I spent 10 months dreading it, regretting it, and doing my best to train for it. Then the day arrived, and I was excited to spend time with my siblings, but sure that this was just not my thing. Welp, I was wrong. It was exhilarating and addicting and one of the best things I've ever done! We all loved it so much that we signed up for next year, including Mr. B and Patrick--adding some spouses in the mix! Our team was Rood Awakening and was comprised of five of the six Rood siblings: Laura, Kelley, Bonnie, Paul and Ben. Ben is an athlete and could have run circles around us, but he was the kindest, most supportive person on our team--a hero! I am hoping to train even harder this year.
