So, 2013 is the year for me to become healthier. I am doing things that I had never though about before.

So, I am not only losing weight, but I am changing the way I do things. I am exercising, I am eating healthier and I am involving my family on the changes.

I am challenging myself to try new things and do more fun things. So when I heard about the color me rad 5k, I was very interested.

Not only this is going to be my first official 5k, but also it is going to be a really fun one. 

In this race, you start the day with a white t-shirt and end up all full of color. It is for all ages, so I am motivating my son to race with me. It is a very fun way to get active

I will be doing the one in Los Angeles on 05/15/13, but you can check the website to see if there are races near your hometown.

Not only the races are fun but they sponsor a local non-profit organization as well. In California this year they are donating to the Special Olympics of Southern California.

Disclosure: i was provided with a free ticket for the race, but all opinions are my own.
