getting down and dirty...

Mud? Yes. Brown murky pits of ooze? You betcha'. Dirt, dust, and 6.3 miles? Oh yeah!

When my high school friend Brandon called me last week, he left a message that piqued my interest. Hey B! I don't know if you're still the girl from high school that's always up for a fun challenge, but if you are, call me. I've got some cool news. Um, did someone say challenge? Did someone challenge me? Get my boxing gloves--bring it on! Or so I thought...

This isn't a regular challenge, friends. It's a MUD RUN?!

I wear heels to the market, fake eyelashes when I need a pick-me-up, and match my gym outfits. Yes, I'm that girl. But I'm not the girl who puts glitter on everything, writes with fuzzy pens, or waves with spirit fingers. To prove this, I've decided to try and train for this competition. I'll be chronicling my journey and I ask that you 1. pray that I realize how ridiculous I'm being and quit, 2. pray I don't break a bone, or 3. pray I stop waving with spirit fingers... 'cause really, sometimes I do.

Were you like, "Wanna be starting something...you got be starting something!" Ok, ok, what do you expect when every single station is playing MJ's music! Consider it my tribute for today!

Well, God be with you during this challenge. Yeah, you're talking to the girl who WENT to the Powder Puff game but didn't PLAY! I was a dancer. I was that girl! No, but really, YOU GO, B!

This will be so flippin' fun! I think spirit fingers and running in the mud go hand in hand. Yes.

Yes, from the movie Bring It On. I'm totally ashamed to admit that I watched it. Twice. At the theaters. My name is Bianca and I watch lame movies.
