I Want To Get Dirty

-

Running an obstacle race has been one of those races I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.  Add in some mud, in the middle of the summer, in the Boston area, and the name Dirty Girl and I am sold. 


A few highlights of what The Dirty Girl 5k is about:
-       women only
-       for all ages and athletic abilities
-       untimed, obstacle course
-       teams are encouraged
-       music
-       adult beverages post race

Now if you want a good laugh, check out the names of the 12 obstacles you will find along the course.  The names make me a little nervous but make me laugh even more.  I cannot wait to get down and dirty with my girls with these obstacles. 
- Stairway to Heaven
- Networking
- Utopian Tubes
- Get Over Yourself!
- You Go Girl!
- PMS (Pretty Muddy Stuff)
- Runaway Bride
- Amaze Yourself!
- H2OMG
- Down and Dirty
- Dirty Dancing
- Funky Monkey





I’ll be doing the Dirty Girl Mud Run in the Boston area on July 13, 2013. Dirty Girl is offering my friends and readers a 20% discount of the race fee for the Boston Event.  Use the code: DGBOSBLOGGUEST when registering. 

I have already gotten Stacy to commit to the race, who else is going to join me and get muddy?

    Loved my Epic Mud Run last year. Working on recruiting more friends for it this year. I'm sure you'll have a blast at your event.

    Be cautious with washing soԁа and uѕe
    gloves as it is seriously alkaline. Sittіng there on your counter, it bаrеly appears to be
    like ablе of such wonԁers, but the initiаl timers
    and the seasoned cooκs alike will takе pleasure
    in introducing that stаnԁard flavor to their favouгitе dishеs.

    As a matteг of іnescapable fact it is these kinds of a profoundly-сoncentrateԁ foodstuff that, until taκen in incrediblу very smаll quantities,
    it is liable to upset weаk digeѕtions.

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
