I went running!

So, remember that yesterday was National running Day?  Well, not only did I go (sorta) running, but I also signed up for a 5K race!  I really enjoyed the few races that I did last year, but since I'm not really a serious runner at the moment, I wanted to make sure what I signed up for was fun, too.  That way, I am motivated to actually show up for the race.  Wanna know what it is?

Ok, so this is last year's logo, but it's the NFL series back to football run!  Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge football fan, and am so excited each year when the season starts.  The NFL is gearing up for their season, and many teams are hosting races the Saturday before the opening game, in which you get a ticket to the season opener!  This year it is only a 5K, but I'm still pretty stoked.  I wish they were playing my team (the Miami Dolphins), but I'll get to see them week two in Indy (my hometown).

A friend also talked me into a few things in order to keep me fitness motivated .  In August, we will be doing the Diva Dash in Chicago.  First of all, I love Chicago, so just about anything will get me there.  This is a 5K obstacle course (women only), so hopefully I won't be too intimidated!

Lastly, we are set up to do Caliente for the Cure!  It is a two-hour Zumba Fitness Event where 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit Susan G. Komen for the cure.  I'm really excited.  I did the race in St. Louis last year, and it was great!
