Color Me

One thing that style blogging doesn't hold back on is holding a mirror, so to speak, up for me to have to take a good hard look at myself. 

I am not loving what I see right now.

Solution: To Get Movin

I have always been terrified of running long distances.

Yep, completely terrified.

I can only assume this irrational fear comes from my childhood and being one of the last kids to finish the mile in gym class.

You see I am REALLY competitive when it comes to games or sports.

I like to win and I cannot stand losing.

This is a character flaw that I have been dealing with for sometime now.

Anyway, one of my bucket list items is to run a 5K.

So, when I heard about the Color Run from one of my students I couldn't imagine a better way to kick my fear in the butt.

Problem: I would have to run.

There was no way that I would be able to do this on my own so I enlisted my sister to help me out.

Away we went and guess what?

I DID IT!
I ran 1.5 miles straight and, other than needing to work on developing a rhythm to my breathing, I felt amazing.

Now I need to invest in a better pair of shoes and a heart rate monitor. 

Any suggestion?

Color Run here I come.

XOXO,
