You may have noticed a slight decrease in the number of posts lately, and today I'm here to explain why. I've been gearing up for my first ever 5K and obstacle course, the
Diva Dash. This all-women 5K obstacle course race was something me and two of my girlfriends (Bethany and Bree) decided would be an awesome crowning achievement to the hard work we've all been doing to get in shape. No particular reason other than being tired of the way we look out of shape. So we strapped on our tennies and signed up about a month ago. Today, we ran it together, and finished with great times! I pulled in at 127 out of 434 for my age division and 487 out of 1065. Our time was 39:20. Not too shabby for a first timer!

Of course I had to do my nails for this female frenzy, so I chose to write the words "DIVA" and "DASH" on each hand, with the symbol for females on each thumb.
I used two Sation colors:
Fan the Flames Fuschia and
Track Starlet (how appropriate!). I used two thin Color Madric striping brushes for the designs on my thumbs, and
White On (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear) for the letters.
It was an awesome day and I couldn't be prouder of us!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing that well at the race!! I can't run for my life, I'm out of breath in like 10 seconds, lol. I prefer other activities like dance lessons to stay fit.

ReplyDeleteGet it girl! I got in shape from running too and I ran my first race last year, a 10K. I'm dying to do an obstacle course race or mud run 5K too though! Nice time and cute nails :)
