Shedding Pounds & Gaining Some Color

When I woke up this morning I decided to step on the scale. Yikes y'all, it wasn't pretty.  I didn't get bummed out about it though because I already know it's my fault. Up until my car accident in April, I was working out just about every day. After the accident my doctor told me to lay off the work outs (I wasn't too disappointed) which meant all progress I'd been making came to a halt. I was released from the doctor more than 2 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten my rear end back into the gym. That's all about to change though!

In exactly four months from TODAY I will be running my second ever 5K. THE COLOR RUN! I am too damn excited about this you guys! I've been begging the nice people in charge of this race to come to Houston for what seems like forever and they are FINALLY coming!

So after looking at the pictures you're either thinking WTF?? or Holy Hell that looks awesome!! Trust me, it is going to be amazing!

A little about The Color Run: This race is an untimed 5K for any level runner or walker. Color is thrown onto race participants by staff, volunteers, and sponsors at different intervals of the race. You start all pristine and white and you finish looking like a walking rainbow. The color is 100% natural & safe! Go here to read more about this one of a kind race and go HERE to find a race event near you!

Even though this is not a timed race I'm determined to start training for it. No one likes to be last in line! Be on the lookout for posts about my journey as I train myself to not look like a fool when I run this race!

I would LOVE to know if you've done The Color Run before or if you are planning on doing it now! 

XO,

  6. My husband and I started doing 5ks together in the fall last year. I heard about the color run this year, but by the time I knew what it was, the entries were sold out! Maybe next year I'll have to be ready to enter right when entries open.

    Good luck on your running journey! It's so hard when you start out, but if you used to be a regular exerciser I'm sure you'll be back in shape in no time.
