The Icky Fun Mud Run!

                         The Icky Fun Mud Run!

It was the day of the Icky mud run. I was disgusted when I heard the 2 single words.... MUD RUN! I wasn't glad about it even the tiniest bit.  I didn't like the sound of it. In my mysterious head I thought of what muddy catastrophe would happen while doing it  or what the consequences would be if I jumped into the rounded pit of mud and decided to take a risk? I asked every  student camper around if they were looking forward to the Mud Run... Some unexpectedly said.. OF COURSE I AM! Some said.. YUCK NO WAY! I was certain I was not looking forward to the icky mud...  I was worried about my clothes getting all icky as well as my hair!

 I started hearing the student campers roaring around saying.. I cant wait to CREEP myself into the mud run!... And as well as.... This is going to be GREASY but  DAUNTING at the same time!! I wasn't sure why they were saying such sentences... Have they done it before? Do they know about it all or were they just really confident and pumped for it? So many questions yet no answers...?

It was finally time to know what terror one can go through and to know how GREASY and UNCOMFORTABLE it could be.. to feel the muddiness crawl through your skin like a snickering snake. We went off group by group so we would not get stuck in something for a long time. I raised my hand thinking "this is going to be cool but terrifying at the same time!" I was chosen to take a leap into the rounded pit of icky mud. "It's so exciting!" I said with a big funny laugh & smile!!!

I went slipping in the mud just like on a water slide! I fast walked the correct way to complete the course. I kept in mind this is for fun  its not a race so I didn't rush like a speeding cat. I soon come upon the little pool you could say of the icky greasy  MUD! Gladly it wasn't too deep for my little legs that had their strength used upon the challenges. We had some adults all around the circling mud just so they can dump the ickiness upon us! I passed that but there was another one... Except it was deeper muddier and BIGGER! I held  onto a heavy rope just for the sake of safety.. It was deep yes but the BOTTOM was FILLED WITH MUD!

I was at least holding onto the rope for 2 minutes which was time wasting but when I finally slithered out I went to the last,final and hardest part of it all! I stepped and said with a wondering voice "It can't get any more terrifying ..right?" But again it could, really BADLY! I tried to walk, sprint, run, speed everything I could think of. It didn't help much. It was SO hard until I did the worm. I had to put my hands to my sides but I had my legs apart.

What it looked like!

I felt something scratching me like a finger nail a few times. I walked with my legs and wiggled with my belly and hands. I finally got out! I was nearly done. I could see the very end I jogged ahead... and.... I MADE IT I WAS FINALLY FINISHED! But I surprisingly enjoyed it so much that I did it all again!!! P.s I loved it a lot... P.P.S I don't want to do it again ever because it got all over my HAIR!  - Diljot B
