5k, Lake, Demo Derby, Sunday Sickness.

Such an eventful Saturday we had! 

So eventful that I woke up this morning sick 

and feeling like I got hit by a bus.

We ran the Color in Motion 5K here in Rexburg which was totally fun.

However, I have ZERO running experience

and Jon and I hadn't exercised in at least a month.

(School and work got the best of us.)

Still I was able to run some, walk some, 

instead of walking it all like I predicted.

And it was way fun being covered in rainbow powder.

And that rainbow powder actually DYED my hair pink. 

Sort of a pink ombre look.

I washed my hair and saw it was pink and I am loving it.

Super fun summer hair, totally by accident!

Hopefully I can keep it around for as long as possible. 

Since we were committed to making this Saturday AWESOME, 

we headed over to the lake for some swim and sun.

I realized I'm terrified of legit swimming and can only do a doggy paddle...

...yeah, unashamed.

So my wonderful fiance taught me how to swim with his high school swimmer expert experience.

I did pretty well. :) 

Next task is to overcome my fear of going under water!

Then after a mini power nap (the sun sucked our energy),

we bought a couple of black cherry cream sodas (SO GOOD) 

and headed to the DEMOLITION DERBY!

I love the demo derby.

I go to school in farmer land.

There was some sweet action happenin! 

This was my fave car, #80. 

It was reppin the most delicious BBQ joint in all of Rexburg,

Blisters BBQ.

It's in a gas station so you THINK it's sketchy but in fact 

it's a party in your mouth.

I dream about their brisket daily.

And again, since I have the best fiance ever,

he knew I've been craving cotton candy since the 4th

so he hooked me up with some at the derby! 

:)

All in all, successful weekend. Today I'm feeling the repercussions, though. Woke up with a stuffy nose, sore throat, sinus headache, stomach ache, and overall achy body. It was totally worth it!! Plus it's survivable when you have a great guy willing to make you soup and hang out with you even though you're death warmed up.

Hope your holiday-ish weekend was FANTASTIC too!
