Everything is Connected

January’s moti­va­tional shirt is a reminder that every­thing we do in the world, through­out each day, is con­nected to every­thing else. Doing good cre­ates more good.

The back reads: every­thing is con­nected and fea­tures each of the causes we have sup­ported since March 2010:

• Pied­mont Park Conservancy
• Open Hand
• Camp Twin Lakes
• Every­body Wins
• Adopt a Golden Atlanta
• PATH Foun­da­tion
• Kate’s Club
• Get Grounded Foundation

To date, we’ve been able to donate $46,000 to these won­der­ful orga­ni­za­tions — thanks to you and your hard work!

Please post your results and improve­ments from today’s PT test — we want to hear your suc­cess stories!

See you next month — well, really later this month — on Tues­day, Jan­u­ary 31st.

Thank You, Friends!

Believe it or not, we have friends that joined us for a killer work­out this morn­ing… even with the fog and wet grass!

You’re Tough Enough!

So far we have 3 — maybe 4 — peo­ple com­mit­ted to the BC4C Tough Mud­der team. Come on, tough guys (and gals)! We’re all tough enough for any­thing. And, just to assuage any fears, the point of the race is to get through it as a team, with every­one help­ing every­one else. This is not a speed race… it’s a “let’s all get through this together” race. So, now, who else is in?

Join the BC4C team dur­ing the registration:

Team name: BC4C
Pass­word: bewelldogood

SIGN UP NOW!

We’re cur­rently sched­uled for Sun­day at 11:20, but we could switch to Sat­ur­day if we get some more Mud­ders and the major­ity rules.

There’s also some BC4C inter­est in the Spar­tan race. Check it out and let’s see if we can get a BC4C Spar­tan team together!

And, of course, we have a BC4C team form­ing for the Pub­lix Geor­gia Marathon/Half. The team name is Boot Camp 4a Cause. You do not need a pass­word to join.

SIGN UP NOW!

Season to Believe

December’s shirt focuses on the “Do Good” part of what we do each day. This moti­va­tional shirt is a reminder that each sin­gle act of kind­ness — no mat­ter how small — adds up to cre­ate a pow­er­ful pos­i­tive force in the world.

The front reads: CLEAR YOUR MIND OF CAN’T with BELIEVE and the num­ber 44 (which rep­re­sents the total amount we’ve donated as a team so far — Decem­ber brings our dona­tion total to $44,000!).

The back reads: NO ACT OF KINDNESS, HOWEVER SMALL, IS EVER WASTED.

Please post your results and improve­ments from today’s PT test — we want to hear your suc­cess stories!

Enjoy your hol­i­day this week and next. Find time to fit in a few work­outs between the eggnog and presents. See you next month — wait, next year! — on Tues­day, Jan­u­ary 3rd.

Tough Mudder Team

We’re try­ing to gauge inter­est in form­ing a BC4C Tough Mud­der team. Check out the info and let’s see if we can get a crew together!

SAT FEB 11 & SUN FEB 12, 2012
GEORGIA AT AONIA PASS MOTOCROSS PARK

Tough Mud­der events are hard­core 10–12 mile obsta­cle courses designed by British Spe­cial Forces to test your all around strength, sta­mina, men­tal grit, and cama­raderie. As the lead­ing com­pany in the boom­ing obsta­cle course indus­try, Tough Mud­der has already chal­lenged half a mil­lion inspir­ing par­tic­i­pants world­wide and raised more than $2 mil­lion dol­lars for the Wounded War­rior Project. But Tough Mud­der is more than an event, it’s a way of think­ing. By run­ning a Tough Mud­der chal­lenge, you’ll unlock a true sense of accom­plish­ment, have a great time, and dis­cover a cama­raderie with your fel­low par­tic­i­pants that’s expe­ri­enced all too rarely these days.

FACT #1 – Marathon run­ning is bor­ing.
And the only thing more bor­ing than doing a marathon is watch­ing a marathon. Road-running may give you a healthy set of lungs, but will leave you with as much upper body strength as Keira Knight­ley. At Tough Mud­der, we want to test your all-around met­tle, not just your abil­ity to run in a straight line, on your own, for hours on end, get­ting bored out of your mind. Our obsta­cle courses are designed by British Spe­cial Forces to test you in every way and are meant only for truly excep­tional all-around peo­ple, not for peo­ple who have enough time and money to train their knees to run 26 miles.

FACT #2 – Mud­ders do not take them­selves too seri­ously.
Triathlons, marathons, and other lame-ass mud runs are more stress­ful than fun. Not Tough Mud­der. As hard­core as our courses are, we meet you at the fin­ish line with a beer, a laugh, and a rockin’ live band. It’s pretty hard to take your­self seri­ously when you’re cov­ered in mud and have just fin­ished an obsta­cle called ‘Just The Tip’, so please don’t show up at a Tough Mud­der with­out a sense of humor. Just check out the ridicu­lous team cos­tumes in our event pho­tos to get a feel for the spirit of Tough Mudder.

FACT #3 – You can­not com­plete a Tough Mud­der course alone.
To get through mud, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of elec­tric­ity you’ll need team­mates to pick you up when your spir­its dip. To get over 12 foot walls and through under­ground mud tun­nels, you’ll need team­mates to give you a boost and a push. Tough Mud­ders are team play­ers who make sure no one gets left behind. To that end, all Mud­ders are expected to uphold our ideals and exhibit team­work and cama­raderie both on the course and off it. All par­tic­i­pants are asked to join us in recit­ing the Tough Mud­der pledge before start­ing each event.
