Ryan McMunn Finished the Insane Inflatable 5K

It was warm. It was muddy. It was insane. But most of all, it was an absolute blast to take part in the Insane Inflatable 5K this past Saturday!

I woke up Saturday morning ready to run. I had ran 5K's before, but it's been a few years since my last one, so along with excitement, I felt quite a bit of anxiety before the sun came up; pretty much only worried if I would pass out somewhere in the middle of the course.

Sounding the alarm bright and early at 9:00, I began my venture to completing my first 5K in quite some time, and boy, after the first mile and first 3 obstacles, I found myself needing a walk break.

My grandparents and parents constantly joked when I was younger about when they were kids, having to walk to school everyday, uphill both ways. I'm not lying when I say that the first mile of the 3.1 mile trek was all uphill. I didn't know we would be climbing Mt. Everest.

Anyway, long story short, I made it across the finish line in some amount of time (honestly, I don't want to know exactly how long it took), and only lost the hat on top of my head twice, which sounds like a win for me.

It was a blast, and there isn't anyone in this world that is going to convince me not to run in the 2016 rendition of the Insane Inflatable 5K, and I highly recommend you run in it as well. But if it is going to be at the beautiful Griffin Farms Pumpkin Patch again next year, I'm calling for a landscaping company to swing by a few days before and flatten it out... or just make it all downhill. Downhill is good, too.
