My Friend, Amy
“Huh?”
That’s was my reaction when Amy, said she is going on a mud run tomorrow.
Mud Run? What is a mud run?
Amy gets into the most interesting things like trampoline jumpology parties, escape rooms, getting a trucker’s license, playing the violin and taking cello lessons, etc! And she never fails to provide varying subjects for blog posts.
But have you ever heard of the Marine Mud Run in Salem, Virginia?
That is her latest?
The Marine Mud Run will be entering their 23rd year and has become an historical community event. Over the past twenty-two years, more than 30,000 “runners” have participated, generating over $300,000.00 to benefit the Roanoke Toys for Tots Foundation and Camp Roanoke. Both of these organizations benefit underprivileged children in the Roanoke Valley.
My niece’s kids do things called “mudrunner,” “Spartan,” and a few I can’t remember. At the end they are always dirty and smiling. I’m watching from my computer.

What a great event, Dor! My 26 year-old niece graduated from the Marine Officer’s Candidate School back in August. I could have never done what she had to do.

My oldest daughter and son-in-law do mud runs and all kinds of things that boggle my mind. They are our family adventurers.
