Mike signed up to participate in a killer hard obstacle race, known as the Spartan. It was in the hottest part of the day, and you had to be crazy to put your body through this. So that means my husband must be crazy. That's okay. Crazy people need support, so the girls and I bought some posters and made signs and decided to be spectators and cheer on our man. Just being there, standing and watching, we about got heat stroke!
We watched and waited, and waited, and waited. It was kind of fun to see all the other race participants light up when they saw the girls holding up the signs. We got several comments like, "I wish my name was Mike!" The girls had fun holding out their hands and giving encouraging high 5's to the runners as they came by... FINALLY we saw someone who looked like Mike. He looked spent, to say the least. We gave him some Gatorade and cheered him on to keep going. And keep on going is what he did... all the way through the grueling obstacles, to the finish line which seemed like a million miles away. We are so proud of him for finishing. Here are a few shots from the event:

| Could that be Mike??? |
 |
| Why yes it is!! Thank goodness! He looks hot! |
 |
| This is where he cools off I guess. I think he will need a shower later. |
 |
| Check out the muscley muscles! |
 |
| Spartan girls! So so hot!! |
Awesome job, Mike!! So proud of all you can do. Now time to get you some food and clean you up! Maybe someday I can be crazy with you and join...
