The P-Town Pantones are signed up for the 5K Color Run!

I NEVER thought I would post a blog on this topic, much less be excited about it, but I just signed myself (AND JEFF) up for two races this summer!! Since Christmas, I've been trying to run. I needed a hobby--one that physically pushed me to the point of mental exhaustion. I say trying because for some reason, my body does.not.want.to move like it did when I was a teenager. Sigh. Gone are the days that I could do a two-mile run just because I thought I might as well join the track team and still, I didn't look like a complete loser. Now, it is April and I am finally at that point that I think I might be able to run a small distance without stopping to walk and not die. Because I tend to lack follow-through (ahem, the blog) I am pretty darn proud of myself for having been committed to this for the last four months, two of which I have stepped it up and am really pushing myself. So, I needed a goal. Drumroll please...on June 2nd I am running my first ever 5K! Jeff is also running the 1 mile version with Ella and Keeton. The kids are just psyched to get a t-shirt. BUT...on July 28th, Jeff and I are both running another 5K with my sister, her hubby, and my good friends Seth and Patty. This race is going to be a blast! It is in Indianapolis and is called the Color Run. Basically, you get hit with paint each kilometer until you are completely covered in it by the end. I don't normally like to get dirty, but this sounds awesome. Our team name is the P-Town Pantones, thanks to Zack's clever artsy-knowledge. Totally excited. Check out the run at thecolorrun.com
