Wanna get muddy?

I know I’ve been dying to do a mud race for quite some time now! Even more interesting, this one is an obstacle mud run / 5k!

“Pretty Muddy was started by a couple of businessmen who were inspired by their wives – their pretty cool wives. Watching their partners juggle kids, households, carpools and careers – while still having time for the occasional ladies’ night – got the men thinking:

These awesome women deserve more time for themselves. Time for balance and time to be themselves without their families. Because even the greatest mom, businesswoman or grandma sometimes needs time that is just her own.

Like those pretty cool wives, today’s women are looking for a way to get together and focus on friendship, fun and fitness – without their significant others, their kids and the stress of the daily grind.

With the help of their wives and an incredible team of creative and motivated people, the two businessmen created an inaugural series of events called Pretty Muddy.

More than a mud run, it’s an exciting women-only event where you can let your hair down and have fun! And that’s pretty awesome.”

Have I convinced you yet?

Well, this should be the kicker. The folks over at Pretty Muddy have partnered with the Susan G. Komen to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research. AND…if you are a breast cancer survivor, you can get a FREE race entry. Click here for more details.

WOMEN’S HEALTH & FEED ANNOUNCE

2^nd ANNUAL RUN10 FEED10 EVENT IN SAN FRANCISCO

Presented by Unilever

2^nd annual event inspires people to race to fight hunger in America

Event to include bonus yoga session, nutrition and beauty consultations, great giveaways and more.

Women’s Health’s wildly popular race and fundraising event,RUN10 FEED10, is coming back to San Francisco onSunday, October 27, 2013.

WHO: Join Women’s Health Magazine, FEED and its founder, Lauren Bush Lauren, and thousands of amazing men and women runners in the fight against hunger.

WHAT: This fall, Women’s Health magazine will host RUN10 FEED10 in San Francisco. The concept is simple: run a 10K with us and provide 10 meals for those struggling with hunger in San Francisco. Last year, RUN10 FEED10 raised 1 million meals nationwide and we’re setting the bar even higher for 2013.

Timed 10K races will also be taking place across the country in New York and Chicago. People living in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Seattle can participate in one of Women’s Health’s “Fun Runs” and if runners do not live in one of our host cities, they can still participate by signing up to run their own 10K. The money from the registration and fundraising efforts will go to their nearest metropolitan area food bank. Download the official, free RUN10FEED10 app to plot your training course.

The day will include:

An unforgettable experience running at 10K for those in need
Pre-and-post race activities including guided stretches and yoga with a special guest trainer
Tons of freebies, experiences and giveaways from FEED, Dove, Degree, Lipton Tea, Simple, Kellogg Nourish, OPI, Vaseline, Birkenstock, Sketchers, Cigna, Ford Fiesta, and more.

WHY: Right now, over 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they don’t know from where their next meal is coming. The reality is there is enough food in the world today for everyone to get the nourishment they need for a healthy and productive life. The other reality is that we can do something about it. Together, we can make a huge impact in a very simple way. All you have to do is RUN!
