There is no Y in RUNNING!

I am semi-OCD. My husband would tell you that I get obsessed over things - I prefer to call it passionate. There's not much that I do half-ass - it's all or nothing, sometimes to the detriment of other things that I should be doing.

A couple of years ago I got super obsessed with running. I dropped weight in no time flat and I felt GREAT! And yet, here I sit, on my couch, surfing the net. Not to say that I don't love the opportunity to blog and dump my thoughts out in cyberspace - it is a type of therapy in itself - but I really am not kidding when I say I felt GREAT! I had more energy than I knew what to do with, my skin was clearer than ever and I was finally comfortable wearing whatever I wanted.

So why am I not still running?

I really have no good answer.

And then I get inspired. Last year Brandon, myself and our buddy Smitty ran the Gladiator Rock-n-Run. It was supposed to be motivating for us to get in shape for the race. None of us did. But we still ran the race and it was a BLAST! Perusing Pinterest this evening I ran into this:

The Color Run
MUST DO! And this time maybe it will motivate me to get my butt in gear and jump on the treadmill that is one room over. Plus, I'm super excited that it is for all ages so the kids can run it with us.

Yep, sounds like fun!
