Daddy and Uncle Jim Got Muddy

Josh completed the Spartan Beast race a couple of weeks ago with Jim.  It happened to coincide with the one-year anniversary of his back surgery.  I was so proud of him. The Spartan Beast race is about 12 miles and 25 obstacles up in beautiful Midway, Utah, ending in a big old puddle of mud.  It looked hot and hard, but they say it was a good time.  And I can't get him to write this blog post, so we'll have to leave it at that.

The girls and I had fun spectating and they have been talking about "daddy and Uncle Jim getting muddy" every day since the race.  Here's the group of them that did the race - a bunch of friends of Jim's. 

The girls played at the park area while we waited for them to finish.

One more picture of him right after finishing.  It really has been a long year for Josh with this back surgery recovery.  I think there were quite a few moments when we weren't sure he would be able to do this kind of thing again.
