Diva Dash

Another of my favorite activities this summer was the Diva Dash 5K and Obstacle Course in Boulder, CO on July 28th.  I was invited to do this with two of my friends from our old Westminster Ward, Mandie Burton and Tala Campbell, and we all had such a great time!  All three of us gave birth to adorable baby boys last spring and summer, so I guess this was sort of a celebration for recovering from the trauma that did to our bodies. :)

It was called the Diva Dash because it was all women.  The course was just over 3 miles, with fun little obstacles a little less than every half mile.  The obtacles included things to climb over and under and through, as well as places to balance or carry stuff or trudge through, etc.  We did go through a little water obstacle or two in the Boulder Reservoir, so we ended up with very soggy socks!  But mostly, we just chatted and jogged along and enjoyed the sun and the fun.  It was awesome!  Can't wait for next time!
