I was all for it and so was Big Man! He hardly ever wants to run with me so when he said that he wanted to do it, I signed up right then! Fast forward to the weekend. Mr. Man had a sleep over with his cousin at my brother's house. Big Man, Little Man, SA and I all slept over at my mom's house. We were so excited! My cousins CC and TE signed up with us so they met us at my mom's house on Saturday morning and we were off (Grandma watched Little Man for us).
Here is CC, SA, and TE on our way
I'm excited for the race!
We made our way there and spent a lot of time waiting for our wave to start. I think the Blue wave was running late. That kind of stole away so of the excitement but as we moved closer to the start line I started to get more and more excited! There was a great MC at the start line. He had us laughing and dancing and high fiving strangers, which helped a lot! I was still bored and took lots of pictures.
I can see the start line

The Awesome MC
Lets start!
My Handsome Hubby Big Man
Silly SA
Getting to know Strangers in line
My Lovely Cousin TE
Let's get Running
Then we made it to the front of the line and took off! The first obstacle was a short way away. We got there and was ready to tackle it!
This one is called Slippery Slopes
SA made it!
Big Man made it!
And that's when it happened. Big Man was sliding down and the slide is a big blow up slide. He slides down and then gets bounced once then twice and then landed POW! right on the concrete. It knocks the wind out of him and screws up his back and he can't move. The stand by paramedics come and puts him on a back board and in a neck brace. I'm crying and he's trying to make jokes so I won't be too worried. By this time I've sent the rest of the crew on ahead to have fun on the other obstacles, TE calls me to let me know that she has her phone and I can get a hold of her if I need to and I tell her that we are going to the ER in an ambulance.
Big Man in Good Spirits in spite of the Pain
We head to the LDS Hospital, which I've never been to but is quite nice, and Big Man heads to get a CT Scan. I was able to sneak out and call everyone to let them know what was going on. I cried again and Big Man smiled and apologized and gave me lots of kisses. I love this man but I hate hospitals and would be happy to never go to one again!
After the pain pills, waiting for the doctor's report
Making the calls outside and hating being there
Turns out he Big Man bulged 2 discs in his back and should be on in a few weeks. I'm glad that he isn't more seriously injured! Let's all hope that this is the last trip to the hospital I ever have to take but with 2 boys I seriously doubt it!
