Run Like A Girl: Mud Run Must-Haves

 Mud Run Must Haves

You will get dirty if you're adventurous and willing to overcome all the obstacles.  When I say dirty, I mean filthy.  I highly recommend you bring the following with you:

·         A waterproof phone case.   I put my phone in a waterproof phone case my family uses at the beach, and it worked great!  Try what I used: https://amzn.to/3SLMQIm I had to tuck it into my bra a few times to move a little easier, but it saved my phone and allowed us to get some cool pictures.  By the end of the event, we couldn't use it to take any more pictures because it was too dirty, so bringing a zip log bag with dry clothing or baby wipes to someone's pocket may be a good idea but not necessary. #Affiliate

·         A change of clothes, even new underwear.  I read this before my first event and should have listened.  Don't make the same mistake I made; trust me, you'll need everything to be clean.

·         Flip flops – I recommend you bring them to the rinse-off station because you'll want to rinse off your feet after you take your shoes and socks off and may never use those shoes again.

·         A towel- This can be used to dry off and as a shield to change after the event.  The event I attended had a giant changing tent with absolutely no privacy.  My friend group received more privacy by taking turns at our vehicle using an open car door and a beach towel as a shield.

·         Baby wipes – The event will have a station to get cleaned, but you won't actually shower.  The rinse station is a large outdoor open area with many garden hoses where everyone is rinsing off together.  This station can help you remove the top layer of mud, but you'll want baby wipes to hold you over until you can get in an actual shower.

·         A cooler filled with water for afterwards

·         If you have a friend willing to come with you to take pictures and hold keys and your ID, I highly recommend this.

Make The Event Fun By:

·         Joining a team and creating a team name.

·         Get matching shirts.  My team found some great ones on Amazon that I recommend. You can even personalize them more by cutting off the sleeves or tying up the bottom, making them into a V-neck, adding diamonds, etc.

·         At the event I went to they provided a bag, headband, and tattoos, which looked fabulous. I kept mine clean and chose to use them afterward instead. My team went all girly and did face beads and glitter.  It was fun to see what stayed on and wasn't strong enough to last the entire event.

·         Celebrate your success individually or with your team afterwards!  Two days after I did my first one I was my sorest, I recommend celebrating with a pre scheduled massage.

What Not To Bring:

·         I recommend you don't wear any fun paper or plastic headbands because mine got caught in the net and went in my friend's bag.

·         Jewelry- it will just get lost or dirty.

Why Mami Superhero?

  I wear so many hats: a mom, a wife, a student, an employee, a daughter, a sister, a friend, etc. It’s exhausting sometimes but I love my life, especially the mom part. Wearing all those titles is a lot which is why I feel moms are superheroes and even the greatest superhero gets tired or needs help sometimes.  This blog is meant to support other mom’s or parents by sharing stories, laughing mostly at myself, and easier ways to do this. I’m so glad you’re here on this journey with me.  Thanks,  Mami Superhero

Start New Goals With Your Back To School Routine

  Goal setting doesn't have to be just for January 1.  A great time to set new goals is when you start a new routine, like when the kids return to school.  Why set goals :  Setting goals gives you something to achieve and look forward to. It helps to motivate you towards your future achievements.  It's easier to see goals when we visualize them .  Maybe you can visualize your goals by closing your eyes; if that doesn't work, try making a vision board .  How to make a vision board : You can take a poster board and put pictures of your dreams or goals, write words, cut words out of magazines, and put up quotes or scriptures to make your vision board a success.  Remember to set long-term and short-term goals. I struggled with fertility but knew someday I would be a mom.  For over ten years, I have had a picture of myself holding a sign that says, "A good mom." Initially, this helped me focus on doing whatever I could to be healthy and foll...
