Chris Tomlin in concert - ticket giveaway!

Chris Tomlin will return to CONSOL Energy Center with his Burning Lights Tour with Louie Giglio and Kari Jobe! With ten No. 1 radio singles, three GRAMMY ® nominations, 18 Dove Awards, one platinum and three gold albums to his credit, it might be easy for some to look at Chris Tomlin’s music in the context of earthly accomplishments. However, when Tomlin himself reflects on such acclaimed worship anthems as “Forever,” “Indescribable” and “How Great is Our God,” it’s not in terms of music industry statistics, but lives impacted.

Foam Fest - fitness made awesome.

So pretty much everyone puts "exercise more" on their New Year's Resolutions, right? One of the most common reasons people don't work out is "it's boring" or "I don't enjoy it". So how about we set a goal together to work towards a thrilling (dare we say, fun?) 5k?!
 
Enter: FOAMFEST.
Coming to Pittsburgh, June 15th.
(Plenty of time to prepare!)
Check out the Pittsburgh page here.
The price goes up the longer you delay in registering, so take the plunge now! 

Get filthy Clean?!!! The ONLY obstacle mud race that doubles as a human car wash! We don’t just bring mud and obstacles; we throw more foam at you than a pack of toddlers in a bubble bath! Imagine the coolest obstacle mud race ever, and then picture it staged inside a giant car wash! That’s the 5k Foam Fest in a nutshell! In fact, 10 seconds in, you’ll be so stoked out of your mind you’ll forget you’re actually "exercising!" Whether you’re a seasoned mud runner or just someone out to have a great time, from the moment you tie on your shoes, you’ll notice a FUNCORE element at the 5k Foam Fest. So while we fully endorse reading through every page of our site save yourself the time and sign up already!
If you would like to join the Momtourage team....we will plan some nights to run together once the weather starts getting slightly warmer. :)
Register here under the 10am wave and register under team "Blaze".
That's right, we'll be blazin'. :)
My hubby and other guys will be on our team as well, so bring your hubby into the mix and make fitness a family effort!
50 ft. slip-n-slide, anyone?
 FAQ's:
Can my child participate?
  • Ages 9 and under will not be able to participate in the 5k but we would love to have them join us for our pre and post race activities such as our foam pit and bounce house!
  • Ages 10-15 can register for the 5k race but must run with a registered adult.
What if I'm too scared to do an obstacle?
  • We have staff and volunteers scattered throughout the mud run course who are ready to leap into action and help you through the obstacle, but if you feel you shouldn't do an obstacle for any reason, our staff will help you around it.

What should I wear?
  • Leave your little black dress in your closet at home because you can count on getting wet, dirty, muddy, sandy, foamy, and most importantly, come away happy! Wear something that can handle the mud and the foam and that you are free to move and groove in. If you want to dress up as your favorite super hero, we approve. Get your friends and dress up together.
And see lots more answers to FAQ's here!

 It always helps me to have a goal to work towards, such as a race. So sign up to keep yourself motivated, healthy & having fun this spring/summer!

Mark your calendar for a musical event like no other-monsters making music! Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their Sesame Street friends are taking to the stage to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live "Elmo Makes Music."
Jenny, an enthusiastic new music teacher, arrives on Sesame Street only to discover that her instruments are missing. Jenny's new Muppet friends quickly come to the rescue and discover 'instruments' they never knew existed...rubber duckies, trash can lids and even cookie jars. Elmo and friends teach children that everyone can make and enjoy beautiful music together.
Adults will hear music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "The Hustle," "You Should Be Dancing" and "Rockin' Robin."

Nuclear Cowboyz

Nuclear Cowboyz is an action-packed show set in a post-apocalyptic future setting. It is filled with freestyle motocross, trials riders, quad backflips, pyrotechnics and lasers all synced in to the tunes of heavy metal, alternative rock and electronic dubstep music.
The show takes place in war-torn Los Angeles in 2150. The two legendary Nuclear Cowboyz tribes the Metal Mulisha and the Soldiers of Havoc battle as their survival is threatened by an evil goddess, the Tempest, and her nitro-charged cyborg army. With the help of the Nuclear Cowgirlz, whose allegiance to their tribes only stands to intensify the evil Tempest to destroy the Nuclear Cowboyz. The battle between the Soldiers of Havoc and the Metal Mulisha is settled over gravity-defying freestyle motocross tricks.
"This show is awesome and one of a kind." said rider Mike Mason, a member of the Soldiers of Havoc. "You're getting all the best FMX tricks like you'd see at X Games and you're also getting to see a story created. It's a blast to be a part of it, and I really feel like the crowd enjoys something different when it comes to FMX."
The Nuclear Cowboyz cast will include X Games L.A. 2012 medalists Mason, Ronnie Faisst, Matt Buyten and Taka Higashino and Winter X Games snowmobile gold and silver medalist Colton Moore. Also on the tour are top freestyle riders Adam Jones, Derek Garland, Brody Wilson, Rob Adelberg, Wes Agee, Nick Dunne, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Geoff Aaron, Keith Wineland and Marco Picado in this adrenaline-packed show of fast music, hard riding and pure excitement.
Tickets are available at the Dick's Sporting Goods Box Office at CONSOL Energy Center, all Ticketmaster.com locations including select Giant Eagle locations, and Ticketmaster Charge-By-Phone at 1-800-745-3000.
