Slime Run

If you have a chance to do the Slime Run, I say skip it.  Unless you just want to run (and walk through slime spray), the obstacles they have are very lame.  The Foam Fest we did a couple years back was MUCH better! 


My next advice is to buy a disposable, waterproof camera!  They charge too much money to purchase one picture at a time on their website and it’s not worth possibly destroying a smartphone or “real” camera.

I bought a new pair of shoes because I didn't want to destroy the nicer shoes I have.  Sounds dumb to buy new shoes, but these only cost $2.50!!!
Clean for a short while (on our way there):
We jogged to the first obstacle and had to wait in line for about 20 minutes to go down a small slide.  I opted out of the slide and instead took a picture of Doug as he was in flight:
Doug is a runner and I hate running, but I’ll do it if something fun is involved.  A bulk of the run was done through a motocross track, so that made it more entertaining than just running in the hot sun on a dusty field like the first part of the run.  We ran through the first slime zone and we barely got any orange on us.  I decided I was going to get my money’s worth out of the slime zones, so I casually walked through the second area.  One of the guys was WAY too excited to cover me in slime.  He was still squirting me even after I walked away from him.  The slime is not very tasty.  After the blue slime - trying to look like Smurfette:


Doug tried to be a cheerleader and keep me motivated to run. I kept apologizing because I’m not a good runner.  He could have run that course 2-3 times before I finished.  We have another run coming in August and I swear I’ll do better.

During the race:
(I guess this is what happens when a shorter person takes a picture of someone who is 6'4" - HAHAHA)
 Green slime:
 This is what the slime stations look like:

 The race was located next to a car racetrack - the pictures isn't good, but there are two cars racing:
 I took a picture of Doug jogging around the corner, while I cheated and cut across:

 Without my sunglasses is funny:

I was stuck in this blue and green face for hours.  We met up with Mike and Tammy for lunch on our way home, then we picked up Jake's car and then we tried to find somewhere to drop off our pictures for 1 hour developing.  NO ONE does 1 hour from film anymore!!  Tammy said that Walgreen's does, so we'll have to find a Walgreen's near us that can do it for us next time.  The shower felt SO good, but some of my skin was dyed blue for a couple days.  Whoops!! HA!!
