Tough Mudders

Being in Politics, I fling mud for a living.

But I've never actually run in the mud.

Until now.

Last night, my girlfriends signed me up for a 5K Mud Run complete with obstacle courses and well, you guessed it... 'lots and 'lots of mud.

Surely this must be every guy's dream. Groups of women pushing and shoving and covered in mud, right? Well, I'm perfectly happy to throw the Women's Lib out the door, because frankly I'll do (almost) anything for a good cause.

Our team will run to benefit the troops at Camp Pendleton, CA when we take on the Murrieta Mud Run in Riverside County, Southern California, on September 10, 2011. The race is one day before the 10-Year Anniversary of 9/11, and I can think of no greater way to honor the victims of that day than to run through any sort of conditions to benefit the brave men and women who have sacrificed themselves in order to deliver justice for the acts of that fateful day.

If you live or run in the Southern California area and would like to join our team, e-mail me.

Now... let's get down and dirty, girls!
