1. I want to do a color run. for those of you who have never heard of this, there is one in Dallas. Here is a description of what it is:
The Color Run is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. Our events, are all about people of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you’ve traveled in a VERY long time. You will love this Color Dash of fun!
What is the Color?
Each kilometer of the event is associated with a designated color. 1k is yellow, 2k is blue, 3k is green, 4k is pink, and the 5k finish is a “Color Extravaganza.” As the runners/walkers hit the Kilometer COLOR ME RAD™ Zones, they will be blitzed by our volunteers, sponsors, and staff with COLOR. The color is a special “elf made” recipe of magical color dust. All products are 100% natural and safe. You can eat the stuff if you’d like (we have tried it and don’t suggest it, it is surprisingly high in calories and leaves a chalky aftertaste).
This to me just looks like so much fun! But I want to actually be able to run it. So it may be 2 or 3 years before I actually go to one, but this is one of my goals.
2. I want to do a Warrior Dash. This one is also in Dallas as well..I don't know if I just like punishing myself or what but I think this would be fun as well. Here is a website for the warrior dash: http://warriordash.com/register2012_north_texas.php#
this one I think will require more training than the color run. But I think I just want to be able to say I did it.
3. I want to do the Disney Princess half marathon, because lets face it.. I'm only half crazy.
I know all of these goals have to do with running, but I've never been a runner. I actually think I would enjoy running if I didn't tire out so quickly or it wasn't so painful which is why I can't wait to start losing my weight and start training. Who knows, maybe one day I will actually run a full marathon.
this picture right here is my thinspiration. I love that she is not skinny. She is fit and that's where I want to be. I know I won't look like her when I lose my weight, I will have excess skin. but just to be fit like here would be awesome which is why I've started my cardio and my strength training now. I love the definition of her muscles. Depending on how much excess skin I end up with after I lose my weight, I might eventually have some of the excess skin removed. Then again maybe I won't. I will be a good reminder of where I've been and where I don't want to go back to.
I guess I'm going to wrap this post up. If you stuck with me through out thanks for listening to my ramble on about running. And anyone who is so inclined is more than welcome to join me in my training for the races when I start. Is anyone out there up for the challenge? :) Hope everyone has a blessed evening!
