More Races in Hawaii

Well after our very first obstacle race we just kept going. My first race was the Warrior Dash with Wayne. That was so much fun! After that I did the Surf and Turf, Wayne was on mission so I ran that one alone. I was sick when I ran that one. It was 2 miles on the beach and then the last mile was pretty much all up hill. It was fun though. The next race was our fist ever Spartan race in Hawaii! After that was the Run or Dye which Wayne was on mission so I ran with my 3 kiddos. Matthew and Peyton LOVED it, Mason screamed anytime he got dye on him. Matthew ran the entire 5K and Peyton ran all but the last half mile! They did great!! We finished the year with the 10K turkey trot on base. I finally got to run with my husband again!
  The next year I ran the Warrior Dash again. Wayne was gone again for that one so I dragged my bestie with me. Thanks for going with me Taylor!! After that Wayne and I ran the fist ever (in Hawaii) Spartan Stadium Race! That was again insane! It was up and down, up and down ect. ect. ect. running over bleachers, up thousands steps and back down. Top to bottom of the aloha stadium. Dragging buckets of water, pulling tires, throwing spears. It was fun. Until I tripped the last 5 minuets of the race! I fell forward and my knee went backwards. It was so painful. The medics didn't want me to finish the race! Yeah right like I was going to quit. I was going to crawl the rest of the race if I had to! I was so mad at them. Finally they wrapped my knee and I hopped through the rest of the race. The kids also ran a Jr Spartan race again and Mason got to run his first Jr Spartan race. They had a blast! Thanks Taylor and Grant for going with us and wrangling all the kids while we ran.
