I don't enjoy physical activities. I don't like overexerting myself. I don't run and most of the time I prefer to be a couch potato. BUT I definitely can walk for a good cause.
This weekend my friends and I did the Night Nation run for Cancer Awareness. People around me are affected so I walked for Amee and Meang.

My sister and nephew live in the area so I went to pre-register for the event and hang out with them. I got to Sacramento Raceway and thought it would be a quick process so I thought about not taking my jacket. I rethought it and took my jacket just in case... Man was I glad I did! It was sooooo cold as I waited in line. Brrr!! Thank goodness it only took half an hour and I got a glow necklace with shirt and bib:)

Family bonding time consisted of watching Aidan's pick of movies. He's been wanting to watch the Charlie Brown movie. He was super excited to see it. The movie was cute, but I was so tired that I almost passed out in the midst of it. I loved the theme song by Megan Trainor "Dance". The moral of the story of loving yourself by being who you are was the best especially for my nephew and the life lessons I try to teach him.
We got home and I didn't really want to go to bed just yet so I attempted to watch Star Wars episode II (still trying to watch all of them before the next movie). I love the special effects but I had to stop in the middle of the movie because I was getting tired.

My sister had to work that morning so I got to babysit the nephew (I think he was really babysitting me since I got to nap while he played his games).
We went to have a quick lunch with his mom at a nearby Chinese restaurant. The food was good for something quick and easy.
We headed to the playground where we attempted to climb to the top. Success was sweet! Yee!!
Headed home for a nap (my naps are usually a couple hours long) and then get ready for the run.
The Run
After parking in what seemed to be a 5K of it's own, we finally got in line to start!! There were DJs hyping the crowd to get us pumped. They sectioned out waves so it wouldn't be too crowded. Five, four, three, two, and GO!!! Some people ran while others (us), walked and danced our way to each checkpoint and selfie station. The route was on different terrain from little inclines and rocks on a path to asphalt. The 5K itself wasn't difficult and each stop had music that you could stop and take a break at. We continued on to get to the finish line due to the crowds and lines at the selfie stations.
The surprise headliner was DJ Joy Willis or something. We weren't really a fan of his set so we left soon after. We danced our butts off, but wanted to beat traffic home. We didn't get to attend the after party at Social Night club, but there's always next year!
Our after party was at Dave and Busters in Roseville. I had never been before, but I think it is my new favorite place to get calamari! Thanks Choua and Ericson for taking us there:)
<Will add pic and video clips here.. stay tuned..>
I'm glad we got to do this walk for a good cause and the party at the end!
Yet another conclusion to a great quickie! Short getaways are the best!!! Until next time..
