Silver Falls 10k mud run

It took some convincing from Jim and Jason, but I ran the Buck Mountain Mudslinger, a 10k run through Silver Falls State Park.  

 

The trail was a bit muddy, and the hills were long, but I was happy to make it all the way to the end!  I was a little nervous about it given that my knee was still a little sore, but I made it and felt pretty good at the end.  It was great to run it with friends!

 

This cute girl and cute baby were among those who were waiting for me at the finish line - and they arrived just in time!

Afterwards, we went for a hike to Upper South Falls with the kids.

 

We hiked down to the bottom of the waterfall.  About the time we got down there, we realized that Jacob had a baseball evaluation a little over an hour later - and it is about an hour-long drive back home... after the hike up to the car!  We booked it up the trail and made it only a couple minutes late!
