Since we'd never gone to prom before, we thought this run would be the perfect opportunity to dress up in our prom clothes and go "out" together. I've heard about people who get dirty at prom, but I don't think this is what they had in mind! MR was the prom king. He'd gone shopping & found my prom dress at the thrift store for $6. I teased my hair & "bumped" it myself :-) The pearls I found on the ground as we were walking to pick up our packet. They were really trashed & the strand was broken, but I put it together like gus-gus & jacque from Cinderella! I wore my pretty dangly earrings (some lady asked me if I was afraid of running with my earrings on. I was wearing a prom dress and she was concerned about my earrings????) MR also bought himself a fabulous plastic boutineer and made a little black & white floral wrist corsage for me to wear too. He thought of everything!
I had to alter the dress a little and gather up the sides of the bottom. The wind is blowing in the photo (hurricane byproduct)and it looks funny, but it actually looked nice considering it had been altered by me. We got off to a good start, but it wasn't long before that wool & cotton suit got MR overheated, and then the obstacles came and kicked my trash. Over4 foot metal barriers, then under wooden fences, over & under, over & under...I thought it would never end! Between me being slow on the obstacles and MR overheating & needing to walk, we had plenty of time to enjoy the course and take our time. Cargo nets, crawling in black-out conditions in the dirt, climbing up 20 foot walls, cargo nets, tire straddles, wading through a river & climbing over logs, jumping over fire and low crawling in the mud under barbed wire. It was lots of fun, and wearing a dress & suit made it "extra special." Here's the after "kiss." 
We rock. It was the BEST prom ever!!!
