The Color Run

This is my birthday present to myself, I’m a little early since my birthday isn’t until August 15th (Leo Power!!!) lol but anywho this run is long time in the making. As a lot of you know I’ve been on a serious health/fitness journey since the beginning of 2012 and I’m so happy to take it the next level. A few months ago I was in New York at an event and I met 2 of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met. Robin and Samantha, best friends, one being a lawyer and the other a celebrity stylist and boutique owner, both are apart of the social media team for Nike Women and they are both committed to love, health and being the best them they could be. They told their story and how they run 5k a day and go around the world doing marathons in their spare time for fun! This story was like a huge light switch to went off in my head, I wanted to be them! Seriously, I wanted to be able to say I run 5k a day and I run in marathons around the world. It was the sound of the freedom, the release of fear and the strength of their self love that had me so inspired. I made a choice right then that I would go for it, I didn’t force it I just let the wind take me where I’m supposed to go and then I saw a post on instagram about “The Color Run” and I knew that this was it! They have runs all over the world, and 60% of the runners in this marathon this is their first run ever! The idea is to be splashed with powdered color every leg of the race oh and it’s not really a race, they don’t count your time, which removes all of the pressure. I’m so excited about this, on Aug 17th in Montreal, Quebec I’m going to do my first run. Join Me? Or if you know someone who has done this run before let me know how it was, do something every day that scares you!
