If you are ever in need for a little adventure, I highly recommend trying and obstacle event in the mud and rewarding yourself with something completely indulgent when you are finished.
In honor of last weekend's Warrior Dash, I thought it was only fitting to celebrate with a delicious Mississippi Mud Pie. I found the recipe in Baked Explorations, a book that I use for special occasions and for times such as these. Try this and you won't be sorry!
Oh, and who could forget the double chocolate brownies for the three-hour trip? We love you Martha.
I mean a girl’s gotta eat after... |
| My friend Sally giddy on sugar prior to race |
Running and crawling in the mud under barbed wire…
 |
Notice my friend Cindy in the back dodging
barbed wire while I run for safety
|
And jumping over fire...
 |
And here is Sally, I swear I heard her say,
"Butter, save yourself!"
|
There were also cargo nets, swinging tires, jumping over trucks and several other nutty obstacles. I mean, will all of this, what more could a girl ask for?
Why a fuzzy helmet with horns and a medal of course!
And a beautiful day with some adventurous friends.
 |
| And here we are with Elvia (in the yellow). She was the first from our team to cross the finish line - we ate her dust Mmmm! |
Work hard…Live life…And don’t forget to play.
And totally indulge every now and again :)
Love, Butter
You go girl! I love the pictures and I especially love the horn helmets.
