Color run!

  On Sunday I ran in a color run!  It was really cool because I had never run in one before but I've always wanted to.  And the course was on a road right next to the ocean.  I was hoping to run it in less than 30 minutes because I hadn't run in so long, so a 10 minute mile seemed reasonable.  But I ended up crossing the finish line in 18:30!!!   Unfortunately that amazing time is to good to be true and when we mapped it out we learned that it wasn't actually a whole 5k, it was 2.5 miles.  But that's still around a 7 and a half minute mile which isn't bad for not running in so long.
Also on Sunday I had my first soccer team.  We drove down to the field 30 minutes before the game, as instructed, but to my surprise the team didn't warm up, or stretch or anything. All the other girls on the team were 18-25 years old so a lot of them were rushing in last minute coming from jobs.  I was, admittedly, expecting the team to be amazing! Out of this world!  Way better than my team in Ann Arbor!  But I was a little surprised to find out that I was wrong.  I suppose this is a good things and a bad thing because, although it means I might not improve and learn from the other girls on the team, I will get played in the games.

This picture is of me and some of the kids from church on Saturday.  Every Saturday there is a feeding center at the church.  I went and helped cook the food in the morning and then serve after there was some programming. One thing which we made was agua de pepino(Cucumber water) which is like lemonade, but with cucumbers.  When the Felix, who is the lady who makes all the food for the feeding center, was putting the cucumbers in the blender I was thinking 'ew' but it's actually really good!  And the kids love it:)
