A couple weeks ago a group of my girlfriends and I signed up for the 'Dirty Girl Mud Run 2012'. It was a 5k muddy obstacle fun run for breast cancer. Besides raising money for cancer research, the run was supposed to be a fun team camaraderie event that was sure to produce lots of laughs and loads of filthy laundry!
Our team decided to hit the local thrift stores and grab up the most hideous, tacky and outdated wedding dresses that we could find and run the race in them! And as you can see, we found some real doozies! We hacked off the puff sleeves, trains and eight layers of tulle for practical reasons and man did we look amazing!
It was a beautiful day-just perfect for getting down and dirty! :)
I do have to say.....We had THE BEST dressed group there! We got so many hoots, hollers, whitles, compliments, laughs and "what a great idea!" comments :)
On your marks....
Don't ask me what I'm doing...I have no idea. Even though we cut out quite a few layers of tulle, as soon as those hideous bags of white fluff hit the mud, they weighed a thousand pounds!
We had such a FUN time! We laughed and laughed and laughed some more! And don't you think it's interesting how dirty we got but we all managed to keep our bows on and totally white?!?
Down through the ravine....
Up and over....this thing....
We all finished together, everyone in one piece, and super dirty!
And yes, we all ditched our shoes and dresses :)
Thanks girls so much for such a fun day! Now who's up for Tough Mudder 2013???

TOO FUNNY!! Love it.
Looks like great fun, and that photo of you and hubby kissing is hilarious! He's working hard to keep his distance from the mud! :)
Just puzzled: why must the sneakers be tied together? What happens to them after they're discarded?
Carlien~ the shoes were cleaned and then sent to Africa to be given out to people who needed them (I'm pretty sure they had us tie them together so that they wouldn't spend an eternity looking for pairs! lol)
