Proud Mommy Moment + The Race That Wasn’t

Warrior Dash(es)
I have two Warrior Dash medals. One from Warrior Dash Tennessee and one from Warrior, Alabama. Everyone should do at least ONE obstacle course in their life, and I definitely recommend Warrior Dash. It's a short enough distance (3.1 miles) that most people can do it without TOO much ...
