I ran. The Whole Time

For those of you who may have read previous entries, you know that I've been working on losing weight and improving my life. For those of you who haven't read previous posts, I'm about three months recommitted to WeightWatchers and things are going alright. About a month ago, I decided to sign up for the Color Run. And then I started up with the Couchto5K app and I put on my running shoes and started training.

To give you a little background, I have had 2 reconstructive surgeries on my right ankle after dislocating it in club soccer in high school. I have a few pins in my ankle, and after the second surgery, my doctor didn't want me to run. The pins are focused in a small area, which creates a "weaked" zone prime for fracturing. I learned this the hard way when I actually did fracture between pins a few months after the second surgery.

Nevertheless, I decided to SLOWLY get back into the habit of running. And my first race was the Color Run. See us before.

Another before picture. Taken on my phone through a plastic bag (to keep my phone safe from the color)

And the after. So much fun. 

See the blue splotch under my nose? Yeah. My boogers are still blue.

And when dosed in color, I cannot make normal faces, but here's a close-up of what my face looked like in the car on the way home.

Even our burrito got into the color run spirit by licking my legs post-race. She's rocking the green in her beard.

That's it. The End. Next race this weekend.
