Last Saturday, I attended the annual Tu-Tu 5K Fun Run hosted by Lady of Essence. It was such a great experience! Although, I wasn’t running I truly felt apart of the group. It was so awesome to see a large group of women ( and some men) committed to making healthy choices and exercising–and having a great time by doing it! (Warning: Image heavy post)

| I didn’t have a tu-tu, but I did have this skirt from when I worked at Justice a few years ago. Yes, that’s a children’s store.. Yes, I wear children’s clothes! |

| I love the slogan! |
This was a tu-tu run which means you had to wear a tu-tu. The ladies (and their pooches) came in one of kind tu-tu’s that were simply adorable!
This was about being healthy and coming to run a 5K, after a warm up (including popular lines dances and stretching) the group began the race.

The race ended with a super fun post party that included zumba, Caribbean line dances, and of course healthy refreshments!

Next year I will be running the race too. I’m going to start finding/ making my tu-tu now! Congrats again on a successful event! Don’t forget about my $25 Payless Giveaway!
What are some fun ways that you stay healthy?
