First NSV can't believe I did this!

So every year on the 28th of March I am very depressed because my mother passed away suddenly on this day. I have felt very sad, angry and conflicted for so long. Today was the 12 year that she has been gone and I decided that I can no longer feel so angry so I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and I signed up for The Color Run for me and my 7 year old daughter.
I didn't know really what to expect. I was nervous and even a little scared. However by the time we got to the second Color of blue all fears and anxiety were left behind. I had so much fun and I completed my first 5k today in an hour and fifteen. ( We had to stop for a few selfies. ) But yes we did it. Now I am completely hooked. I hope you all don't mind me sharing.
