I knew I could. I knew I could.

So maybe my thought process is a little juvenile these days, but to quote a famous train engine, "I knew I could. I knew I could." YES, I knew I could complete my second 5k and I knew that I could do it better than the first!!

What an awesome experience!!! And what a blessing to be able to experience the Color Run with some of my best friends and my family (minus one awesome little guy who spent the day with Grandma and Papa).

I love the feeling I get when I accomplish a goal. Saturday I had a goal in mind...to finish my second 5k in less time than it took my first 5k. Not only did I do that, but I partnered up with one of my best friends, who accomplished her very first 5k!!! And we did awesome!!!

Here's our awesome team!! Kris, Nicole, Cody, Travis (not in the picture, he was grumpy), Mindy, JC, Emma...and I'm taking the picture! We were Team RGB: Runners Gone Bad - We may be slow, but we're ahead of hue! Get it...hue...Color Run. I know, I know...but my artist friends really thought it was awesome!!!

JC laughed at me when he saw Mindy's and my pictures from the day. "You took pictures at EVERY color station?" Heck yeah, proof that we really did this thing!!!

Honestly, there's no way to describe first of all how much fun the Color Run was. What a great way to raise money for the Children's Variety Club. It's kind of fun to know that while helping yourself be healthier you're also helping the kids. It's a win, win!!!

Second of all, there's no way to describe the feeling I had crossing that finish line, my best friend right in front of me, my family and other amazing friends behind me, and knowing that two lives (actually more I'm sure) were changed. Crossing that finish line was the end of the race, but the beginning of two lives that so much need to be changed for the better.

We are two very awesome people, Mindy Jean, but we need to continue to be awesome for many more years to come. Are you with me??? Thank you for catching the Color Run wave with me and taking it to the very end. Thank you for pushing me to go to the railroad tracks, to the flag pole, to the stop light...thank you!
