When you feel good about yourself, it changes everything; you carry yourself differently, you speak to people differently. Life takes on a whole new meaning and you're inspired to good things.

TheTough Mudder is coming to Philadelphia (the Allentown area) at the beginning of June and I am building a team from the Kimberton Waldorf School. The Tough Mudder is a 10 to 12 mile run interspersed with about 20 crazy obstacles to test your abilities. If you are either in good shape or crazy like me this will be a great day of sun, sweat and mud. This is a team event, so everyone helps each team member to make it through the course. I am getting old for this sort of thing, so I want a large team in case I need to be carried off the course. I reserved Sunday, June 2nd at 10:15 for our start time. Contact me if you are interested in joining the race and need help with the sign-in. The team name is KWSTeam. My email is

Hope you can make it! Seth Bacon
