One of Tip's Bucket List items was to run a 5k, so her bff Amanda planned it for us to run it together
so much fun, didn't get as dirty as I thought we would! I wasn't sure what to expect, I was thinking you get splashed the whole time, but it is spread out by color stations...
we were team "color me bestie"
was so happy I ran the whole thing...felt good, although it did feel shorter than a 5k, but I'll take it :)
waiting for the end where they had one last color cloud where everyone jumps around getting splashed with more color!
was nice that zappos sponsored it and had a kids play area, even a painting station, too busy they missed me at the finish line :( the run was weird and didn't have us all start at the same time, in groups, so we didn't find each other til the very end, oh well!
getting his hoola hoop on
scary I know!
the following weekend did a Dessert Dash with some old and current co-workers...I actually thought it may be a legit run, and how could I have not known about it given the name, but it was actually Amara and Daisy that planned it out...so my kind of run! I stole Patra's hashtag as I love it and it is so me #iruntoeat :)
original Zappos Planners, I was number 4 or 5, Todd was visiting from NY so it was a special event!
started at Luv-it for the Western which was caramel, pecans and yum!
it was about a 5 mile run all together with stops in between for dessert, the longest leg was about 2 miles, so at least got a good consistent run in :)
running on the strip was freezing!
2nd stop was Grand Luxe at Palazzo for beignets...they were okay, hard to compete when you've had them in N'awlins at Cafe du Monde :)
3rd stop Serendipity's for a fried oreo sundae and frozen hot chocolates...pb&j was my favorite
still freezing, the ice cream didn't help :)
4th stop at the Cosmo with a dinner break at Secret Pizza and Salted Caramel Budino at D.O.C.G
last stop Todd English's with Todd :)
bread budding was too burnt on top, not soft like I am used to so wasn't a fan, but I was a big fan of the lobster roll, so good!
so to sum up, the lobster roll was my favorite followed by the salted caramel budino, net net, we burned more calories than we ate since we all were sharing, taking bites :) Fun times with Zappos fam! Dessert Dash pare deux is coming April 6th :)
love this picture of Jayson's hair...one weekend afternoon Jay told the kids if they can do a run around the neighborhood without stopping he would treat to sweet addiction...
they were up for the challenge since Sweet Addiction isn't just ice-cream but an extra special treat, Thrifty's ice-cream and cookies! They did good, almost a mile...Jaylin was the one that stopped a little saying her usual "my legs hurt," but we pushed her along

the first time I went I didn't care for it that much, the second time I went I loved it, so it's all about the cookie ice-cream combination :) You would think chocolate chip would be good, but for me as long as the cookies are snickerdoodle and/or peanut butter, I'm good
