It's not often that you get to swim through a mudhole; crawl along the ground in a hot, dark tent; jump over fire, and climb over junked cars, all the while calling it fun. It's made even better when you can do this with friends - friends who will ride in the van with you for an hour to get to this event and bring the wine, cheese, crackers, fruit, bagel, and creme cheese to celebrate it all on the hour ride back home. But the best part is that the friends who join you in this adventure are the ones you can count on for anything - a laugh to share, a hug to keep you going, a shoulder to cry on, and in the case of the group above, a reason to show up every morning at 5:45 to lift and crunch and run and plank. Because of them and all my beloved friends, I am truly blessed.
