What does it mean to be fit for FUN?
For me and my daughter-in-love, it means our annual Mud Run. This year, it was extra special and extra FUN. My granddaughter joined in!
For my granddaughter, getting muddy isn’t exactly her thing. What were some things we did to prepare her for the mud and the obstacles?
For the obstacle aspect, we visited a local park so she could get experience on the climbing tower and climbing a rope structure. This, she loved!
For the mud…I let her help me dig up tree roots. She sat with me in the muddy hole and used a little shovel to dig out root shoots. She didn’t seem to mind the hard work, but the mud? It took a bit. However, the idea of the obstacle course made the unpleasantness of getting muddy worth it to her.
We spent a windy Saturday morning at the mud run, grateful for the mud, each other, the ability to crawl, climb, and balance (I have a great deal of room for improvement in this area), and making wonderful memories together.
