Mud Love

Last weekend it was three kids. This weekend, it was 6.2 muddy miles at the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. With all the craziness going on, we had crammed 10 weeks' worth of conditioning into 10 days, and our training culminated in a pre-race carb fest Friday night.

We had every intention of eating a healthy, low-fat, carb-heavy pasta dinner. But being Love Fat and all, it turned into way more than that:

Bread, burrata with marinated veggies, meatballs and calamari

Oh, and some pasta, too...

Oooops...this is definitely not healthy runner food. 

But when it was time to step up to the plate, we cast aside any doubt and faced the challenge head-on. We mustered up our courage and powered through the whole thing. And loved every minute of it.

Oh, and we finished the Mud Run, too.
