Playing Catch-Up

So I missed a post last week...oops...:) We've actually been very busy, which is funny since Mara is done with rotations until June. We've been getting outside a lot and enjoying the days the most we can with the looming summer scorch on the horizon. We're usually pretty exhausted at night so the blog kept getting pushed until "the next day".
We've pretty much been doing the same things as always; running, climbing, baseball games, house stuff, and packing a little. Last week we hit our first Diamondback's game (against the Cubs). Rohan was pretty in to it the whole time. They had fireworks afterwards which he was a little freaked out by. He usually LOVES them, but it was almost 10pm and he was pretty tired. After they were done he cried a little because they were gone...go figure!
Saturday was the highlight since our last post. We met Heather, and John, and their friends Brad & Debbie for the Warrior Dash in Florance, AZ. It was a 3.4mi run with several obstacles throughout. It was an absolute BLAST! The mud pit at the end was epic! We didn't get as many pics as we'd like, but there are some good ones, and maybe some race-photo people got some along the way, we'll find out later. We tailgated with the crew and made a nice day of it (and got a great tan too!).
I took advantage of our free FlipVideo camera I got from work and took it along on our race. I wanted to get video of us doing the obstacles. The video is a little choppy, but it gives a first person perspective...also...it was a lot of fun...:) I really like the end where I jump over the fire and then enter the mud. We watched a few people, waiting for Heather to finish, and some entered very weakly. I felt I needed to enter with style. The girls in front of me were taking there time getting in, so I picked up the speed and jumped over them (and the first set of flags!) and cannonballed into the mud; I caught some awesome air...:) The video shows the pit, the sky, then the mud...pretty awesome fun...:) The 6min video is at the bottom of the post.
Not much else planned this week other than the normal stuff we mentioned above. In less than 2 weeks we'll be in IA/MO for Mara's graduation! We are crazy excite to see all our friends and family!!! Not so excited about the trip to MO, but the few days at T-N-A's will be awesome! We can't wait to get Cam-Ro reunited!
Enjoy the plethora of pics & vids from the last 2 weeks!:
