Color Me Rad!!!

"The greater danger for most of us is not
that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it."
- Michelangelo

First I would like to say thank you to Miss Crigler for posting such inspirational little quotes each day. It never seems to fail to strike something as fitting in my life at the moment, usually relating to my journey with Outer Banks Bootcamps.

Now on to some colorful fun and a wonderful way to clean it up!

On Saturday I got to spend some time with two of best guys on this side of the Universe, which is always a joy in it self, but this was extra special cause we spent four hours building the outside shower here at my house! It turned out PERFECT, and exactly as I envisioned it. (Even if at first we all just kinda had different ideas of what it should be). I can't thank these guys enough, I am truly blessed to be able to call them both "Friend".





On Sunday I spent time with some of the bootcamp girls! Lisa, Amy, Brandi, Nora, Kati... oh there were more my brain just slips every now and then. We took a little road trip to Va Beach to go to the Color me Rad 5K in Va Beach. (I think the 5K part was a bit optional but who cares we had fun)

It was my first event back on my foot after the ouchie, and it was a good test as there was just as much walking as there was slow jogging. Footie held up perfectly by the way. I have to say that this event was the most fun I have ever had running, or walking, or doing anything exercise related for that matter. How can you not have fun when you are running around looking like a Rainbow Bright Reject! I am sure I am making zero sense, so it may be best just to focus on the photos instead of my words today.

At the start... we were so clean!!!
War Paint!!!
Our finish.. together! We weren't so clean any longer.
I think I smiled ALL DAY!!!!!
 
Even our numbers look awesome in color!

I am not sure what to even say.. but this was fun stuff!!!!
Awesome Shot! I am saving all my bibs and putting them in a photo album.

 I would like to give a HUGE shout out to Adam for taking all of these photos! He spent he's day off running around, literally, running around us so he could get in front of us to grab the next shot. Also, thank you to Brandi and Adam for the ride and the fun to and fro!!!!

Can't wait for the next one!!!!

PS. Tomorrow's post all about how I tracked running up, down, around, and everything else you can think of Jockey's Ridge!

Have a colorful day!!!!

Well done. This entry is a good example of a picture being worth a thousand words, though they do need some explanation!

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...

My heart talks to me in a Dory voice, my brain doesn't.. my brain sounds more like Nemo's dad Marlin. My brain is always grumbling and telling me I can't or I will never be good enough or it hurts way too bad or I am fat or .. there are so many OR's that it is not even funny.  Very much like Marlin in the movie, everything was always gloom and doom. My heart says just keep swimming, swimming, swimming or running, running, running or BREATHING BREATHING BREATHING. Whatever the occasion calls for. (recently at bootcamp it has required all of those and then some). My heart wants so badly to be more than I am, to not be the one in the back, to not be the one the rest of the team is constantly waiting on in push up position, to not be the one who's foot feels like glass just split the bottom of it open again and tries to get off of the shells... cont. Side Bar on Foot:  it hasn't split open just truly felt that way, the only way I can describe what my foot f

My Best Friend

Image
Let me tell you about my best friend, I do suppose the first thing I need to tell you is that he is well a he. Most girls I know their best bestest friend is a she, not me, but as he will quickly tell you I have never been one to exactly follow the rules. You know how when someone asks how long you have known your best friend and it feels like your whole life so you just say "oh forever", I am lucky enough that I actually have. He has been there through good things and bad and never once did I ever question how much exactly he loved me, even when he didn't particularly like me very much. I am sure when I was younger there were times he thought to himself "Lord what in the world did I ever do bad enough to have to put up with this?" I can't say I can blame him cause there were times I was really not the nicest person in the world, but not once did he ever give up on me. Oh, who am I kidding, he has probably thought that recently. I can say with complete
