Team Goon Takes the Gold!

Mud Run Weekend 2009 was a BLAST!! OK..... maybe running 6 miles, most of which is uphill, jumping 5 foot walls, crawling on your hands & knees through small rough tin tunnels, crossing a river waste high and getting mud in your face and mouth as you crawl on your belly to the finish.....may not be considered a "blast" to the majority of you, but we thoroughly enjoyed it! Especially because Grandpa Pops did so AWESOME! He took home not 3rd, not 2nd, but the FIRST PLACE metal for his age group! Pretty amazing! He finished in approx. 1 hour 2 minutes, taking over 10 minutes off of his last year's time! And yes, he beat his daughter and son-in-law, who are 30 years younger.....but obviously NOT in any better shape! Blaine finished next and then myself, both of us finishing in approx. 1 hour and 3 minutes. Neither of us placed, but we did pretty well for our age groups. Grammy was a great sport and stayed back to watch Grayson, take pictures and cheer us on. Grayson was definitely this year's good luck charm for Team Goon! We are so proud of you Pops! You trained hard for this and you SO deserve that metal! Here are a few fun pics from last weekend's event.

No major changes with Grayson...he still cruises all over the place on his belly, climbs up onto everything and still has a snaggle tooth. He doesn't say mama as much anymore. Last week, everything was "Ba!" Now, he says "Da Da" quite a bit. Here's a short video from last night showing Grayson cracking himself up! We were playing a new "catch me if you can" game last night and he apparently thought it was hilarious!
