Happiest 5K on the Planet!

OH YA!  I DID IT!  MY FIRST 5K!!!

I decided earlier this year that I was going to do a 5K.  I wanted to do the Color Run after seeing friends of mine post pictures of theirs over the past few years.  Well, New Orleans had a Color Run August 23, 2014, and I was going to do it!

I was so lucky because not only did I do it, but my husband and kids, his sister, and her husband joined me!  What an awesome experience this run was.

Here is us before

Me and my little family.  Yes, even the baby was ready!

At the start line at 7:30 a.m.

Now, I will be honest and say I had to walk the majority of it.  I couldn't run with that stroller I am holding onto.  It isn't a jogging stroller as much as an off-roading one.  It is rugged but as soon as you go faster than a fast walk the front wheel shakes uncontrollably.  But I gave my husband the nice jogger and he ran the whole thing.  

But seriously, it wouldn't have mattered if I ran it, I am proud of myself for speed-walking it and having a good time!  My daughter sure did!  She got out and "ran" for a while.

And check out the aftermath!

Haha, you can tell that the baby was NOT impressed.  And my daughter was ready to get down to party.

But we had a great time.  We got out, we got moving, we were active, and THAT is all that mattered!

And what made me so proud of myself is that I BOUGHT those leggings, WORE those leggings, and I think I look pretty good.  AND I GOT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA!!!!  I HATE being in front of it and I did it willingly!  Getting rid of some of that weight has made me more confident in myself.  Whoop!

Can not wait for the next 5K!  Going to either get a different stroller or get a sitter for the kids so I can run it!
