Super Snack Lady Staying Healthy!

What have you been doing this summer to stay healthy?  Super Snack Lady enjoys yummy fruits in the warm (or in our case HOT) summer months.  Nothing cools her down like some black, frozen grapes, fresh cut pineapple, or a cool apple straight out of the fridge.

Along with trying to eat healthy Super Snack Lady has also been keeping active.  She wishes she had more time for the swimming pool or a gym that is inside but instead she's been casually training for a 5K run!  Well, this last weekend Super Snack Lady took part in the Color Run in Des Moines. What is a Color Run?  Well it's a 5K (approximently 3.2 miles) where you wear all white clothes and run/jog/walk and you go through check points. At these check points volunteers throw colored corn starch on you and you start to turn awesome fun colors!  At the 5K this past weekend Super Snack Lady saw young kids (4 year olds) and even grandparents all suited up for the race.  Check out the photos below to see Super Snack Lady enjoying her jog!

Super Snack Lady was all suited up in white.
Goggles were not needed but she decided
to wear them to protect her glasses and eyes.

and getting colored up!

The "after party" where they play music and
runners dance and throw more color in the air to
celebrate completing the run.

Good thing Super Snack Lady wore
goggles to protect her face.

This was the "tan line" from the color
on Super Snack Lady's ankle.
Luckily the starch color washes off after
a shower or two!
