Oh my goodness, if you ever have a chance to do The Color Run...do it! My sister and I did the 5k in Omaha together on Saturday (with 13,000 of our closet friends), and I'm so glad that we did!
I love having this excused to get out and run....and its fun running with a bunch of people!
Not to mention, this run you get colored cornstarch thrown at you every Kilometer! People are happy to be there, it is for a good cause, and you get to be colorful!
I have a confession to make....
Remember that half marathon I ran at the end of April? Well....since then, I had ran one mile. That's right....one...whole...mile all summer. And that is it. I felt pathetic. Once I got out of the habit...I just couldn't find my grove. It got hot, I moved, I started two new jobs....and I had a dozen other excuses that I let take over my life.
Well that was it. I did the 3 mile run yesterday, and I feel amazing. Just getting back into running made my whole day better. I feel better, in a better mood, and running makes me think harder about what sorts of foods I am putting into my body.
I encourage you all, if you haven't tried doing a 5K, go for it! Running 3 miles has so much to do with where your mind is at. Just make yourself do it, YOU CAN! And its awesome. I did my first 5k last fall, which inspired me to do a half marathon. I'm so glad I did it. I doubt I'll ever do a full marathon....it really isn't something I would enjoy. Half was enough! But I like running now, which I never thought I would!

My friend has been bugging me to sign up for the color run here, which is August 4th, which is one day after the 2 year anniversary of my hardest day... I haven't made real concrete plans for August 3rd yet, last year I spent the day with a pregnant widow and her children shooting a maternity session, which was really emotional for me. i was really lucky that I got to shoot her daughter's newborn session. I haven't seen them since but I really hope someday I get to see them again. I want to cut my hair off and give it to locks of love and I had been thinking about doing that on the 3rd, but I'm not sure. I might need some more time for myself. I kind of wanted long hair when we go to court and we're going to court! SURPRISE! You know my story, don't you Kitty?
Anyway, I'm glad you had so much fun! It looks like fun, and I promise to think about it some more. It would be good (I'm sure) to do something positive and fulfilling for myself. RIght? Right.
Oh my gosh, that looks like so much fun!!
I just did the color run yesterday! It was great! You look sufficiently colored!!
I have been DYING to do a color run but I'm not in shape yet. It's my goal to do one this year (ours is in December!)
