COLOR ME RAD!

So today I ran the most amazing race ever.  Well, I didn't exactly run.  I "radded."  And I got to do it with my best friends.  I can't put into words how awesome it was, so I'm just going to leave these here:

Tough Mudder

Followers, I have a request.  One of my really close friends, who has inspired much of my weight loss success has decided she is going to run the Tough Mudder.  In case you're not familiar with the Tough Mudder, it's a 10 to 12 mile obstacle course.  It's a really tough run (no pun intended) and she needs lots of support.

So, if you would, to show your support, please go to her donation page and make a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project.  This project helps aid our soldiers when they come back from overseas.  It means a lot to my friend because she is studying to be a psychologist specializing in post-traumatic stress, and wants to work with soldiers.  Please, if you can, give to the cause and show your support for a strong woman!

Color Me Rad!

So, I just registered for Color Me Rad Pittsburgh on June 9th.  It will be 5K number 12 for me, but more importantly, it's my best friend Kristen's 24th birthday.  And I'm going to get her to run the whole thing.  I know the whole marketing behind Color Me Rad is that it's not really a run, or a competition, but this is going to be a great milestone for her.  She's walked 5ks before, but she's always struggled to run, and I know her, and I know its because she lacks motivation.  I think, with the excitement of the event and her birthday, and a little motivation from her best friend, she can run the whole thing.  And hopefully then she'll be hooked and it will be the first of many more 5ks for her. I'm so excited.  I get to run a Colorific 5k with both of my best friends.  It's going to be awesomely awesome.  And awesome.
