Yay! I’m a RunGo Ambassador! But… what does that even mean, you ask? Well, that means I get to spread the word and tell all of you wonderful readers about this cool app called RunGo. RunGo is an app that allows you to map your running route, or follow the route created by another runner….
Well, it’s officially August! If you were here with me this time last year, you would know that I ran an Awesome in August Instagram Challenge to celebrate my wonderful readers. You guys are awesome and inspire me to keep pushing myself to stay motivated, even when I just want to pack it all in…
For starters, I acknowledge that this race recap is 2000 and late. I ran this race almost two months ago, and am just now getting to this. Sorry! But you know what? At least I wrote it, right? 😉 In all honesty, I never thought I would run The Color Run. From the pictures I…
