Day One Hundred and Eight: Muddy Waters

Emily passed the Iowa Bar exam! And this weekend we went up to Des Moines (and Ankeny) for the swearing-in ceremony.

In case you're wondering what lawyers do in their free time, this particular bi-state attorney spent her Saturday morning waking early, stretching out and loosening up to run three miles through a gruelling trail of mud and muck...for fun.

That's right! This Saturday was the annual "Mud Run" put on by the Iowa Sports Foundation. The promotional flyer promised mud pits, obstacles, and puddles galore. While it delivered on that promise, after three miles we really only ended up substantially muddy from the knees down.

So Em and I took matters into our own hands (literally) and had a few minor mud fights along the way. The water used to hose ourselves down after the race is just as cold as Emily's face suggests!

All in all the Mud Run was deemed a success by these two participants - some good old-fashioned weekend fun.

Come Monday morning, it's back to work the aspiring attorney pictured above. But unlike some lawyers who might make their living wading through muck and filth, I'm pretty sure Emily is happy saving that sort of thing for the weekend!
