The7 mile mud run in PA was bitter sweet. I arrived in PA around 8pm the night before the race. We had a few places to go before driving up the mountain to Seven Springs. As soon as I got in the car, I realized something was off. My friend and her coworker were acting a little too close for comfort. It wasn't long before I realized I had been brought along on this trip, as simply a cover up for their affairs. I won't go into the details of the trip regarding this matter. All I have to say, is on this trip, I was reminded of the selfish nature that resides in each of us apart from God.
The race on the other hand was AMAZING. We woke up Saturday morning with a chill in the air. I was a bit worried that I would be cold, but my main concern was getting my hair braided. The last thing I wanted was sticky, muddy, nasty hair, while I was trying to make it through 7 hilly miles. All I can say, is the weather was perfect. The water was very chilly, which was very refreshing. The race couldn't have gone better.
You know those moments when you react in a way that makes you stop and think, "2 years ago I wouldn't have reacted this way." You know, those times when you recognize that you have actually matured? This weekend, I was very proud of myself. I was go with the flow, in a very compromising environment, and definitely turned lemons into lemonade.
