Ottawa 5k Color Run

So in the spirit of trying to motivate myself (and my friends) back into a fit lifestyle, I signed us all up for the Ottawa 5k Color Run. Our team was Team Tumbleweave (for a weave I found in the parking lot of the gym a couple of years back that followed me around the city) and we made some kick ass shirts. What the run turned into was more of a saunter. It poured a good half of the run which turned us and the ground into a hot colourful mess.

Virtual Runs

I noticed that there's a trend with these new virtual runs, what a great idea!

You sign up, do the run when YOU want to, report your time and receive a bib and a medal. Part of the proceeds go to the cause of the month. This particular virtual run is for cancer which I am sure has touched the lives of all of you. If getting in shape was a new years resolution, this could be the answer you are looking for.

And cause I am an overachiever and love a good challenge, I signed up for three of them :)

The color run

So I FINALLY got a chance to do the color run. I've wanted to do it since it came out but I was never in the same place as the run itself. BUT I got extended one more week for my vacation at home so I got to run it with two of my friends who used to work with me on ships.

So much fun!
