My hubby had a birthday this past Saturday. On his birthday, he did a "Mud Run" also called the "Filthy 5K" locally. His younger sister ran/ fielded obstacles alongside him, and they came out all in one piece, with only a few scrapes and aches! I was super proud of him for running in a race again, for finishing, and for being brave enough to get filthy! His sister made him a shirt which said, "I'm with awesome" and she had one to match! On the back, it said, "41 years of awesomeness!" I *may* have mentioned to the DJ there that it was his birthday, and everyone sang to him! Here are some photo highlights:
Starting off clean and white....The muddy water pit at the end...
Getting ready to run...
Not so clean and white anymore...
41 years of awesomeness!
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame,and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Still makes me laugh to see the pics! :)
