I Am A Color Runner

before

 That's right! I am a color runner! I have been stalking this race for awhile and I was so excited to have the opportunity to do it. The plan was that all of us were going to do it but it rained the ENTIRE time and Mason did not like being soaking wet. Danny and Mason went back to the car and changed into some dry, warm clothes while me, Mindy and Marti looked like drowned rats. We really did have a great time even though we were soaking wet. Mindy thought getting doused with colored powder was awesome and Marti and I did too. If you have a chance you should really sign up for the Color Run in Tuscaloosa. You will have a great time!

Training is getting a little bit more difficult because of scheduling. School is in full swing and so is Alabama football! Roll Tide! I have also had a health set back. Nothing serious. I was experiencing some numbness in my right hip and went to the doctor. It turns out that I might have a bulging disc in my back. Like I needed anything else to bulge! Anyway it is pushing on a nerve and that is what is causing the numb feeling. I am taking prednisone and some muscle relaxers to help relieve it but I have to go back next week if it doesn't get any better. Edie and I will run into tail-gating tomorrow during our long walk. We've decided we will get in as much as we can. I think it will be a lot of fun. I never get down to the Quad during football season so it will be interesting for me to see.

My children have been raising money for the school by participating in the Boosterthon Fun Run. This is a wonderful way for your school to raise money. It helps promote fitness which is what I love about it. My kids have the best time doing this every year. They get pledges for every lap. The laps cap off at 35. They both made all 35 and they were exhausted.
