Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies glow. #truth
See us glowing at the taipei543 neon run 5k!!!
Saturday evening, we participated in a neon run, which was possibly the most fun I’ve ever had at a race. By the time Joy and I arrived at the race site, there were already tons of people and even more glow sticks, lighting up the evening in quite the colorful way.
We even got to catch a glimpse of Taiwanese ultra marathoner Kevin Lin which got me super psyched for the upcoming race. Sadly, it was too bright so you can’t actually tell it’s him in the pic, but I swear it really is him. 
NOTHING beats a good meal with family! You and the fam are so cute! Happy birthday to your mama! And that quote from Bart Yasso could not be more true!
Yes, NOTHING. 🙂 Thank you so much Davida!
Absolutely! I’ve been looking for a way to fit it into a post ever since I first saw it. 😀
Happy birthday mama fruitynnutty!
That glow run looks so much fun- I THINK there is going to be one in Melbourne next year…something similar called the ‘Electric Run’- sounds like a blast!
So much good food there and with family too- even better!
Thanks Arman!
Ooh, an ‘electric run’ sounds amazing. Can’t wait to read your race recap next year. 🙂
Family truly makes everything better. 😀
I so want to do a neon run they look like A LOT of fun 🙂
I am drooling at the Japanese restaurant you went to as it looks and sounds like it was a great one – love that they let you sit on the floor like that.
It sure was! Arman mentioned an electric run happening in Melbourne next year, so maybe you can look into that?
Yeah, sitting on the floor made me feel like a totally legit Japanese person. 😛
“I’ve never met a fake runner” <– love it! Glad you had fun at the run, and happy birthday to your momma!
Me too! 🙂
& Thank you so much Kim!!! 😀
Wow Kevin Lin? That is awesome!! Looks like you’ve been having a lot of fun lately. I love the pics of you and your mom – very sweet. Visiting from SITS today – enjoy it!
It sure was, even though I couldn’t really see him clearly. 😛 Thanks so much for stopping by Allie! 🙂
I never heard of a ‘glow run’ before! I must find one in my area. I like all your pics, too. And I want to ask. I am a power walker…or maybe that’s just a slow runner?
Thanks Wilma! You definitely should, it’s so much fun! As the great Bart Yasso says, “We are all runners, some just run faster than others. I’ve never met a fake runner. ” Hope that answers your question. 🙂
The food looks gorgeous! I like the title of your post because here in the South, ladies don’t sweat, we glisten. 🙂 Happy SITS Day!
Thanks Pary!:) Then I’ve got to visit the South some day. 😛
That glow run looks like fun! I might look into organizing one for a charity I work with!
It sure is. 🙂 That certainly sounds like a great idea!
It is okay to glow and have some or much chocolates…
Happy belated birthday to your mum and Happy SITS day to you today!
It sure is! 😛 Thank you so much Ugochi! 🙂
Great pictures. You definitely look like you had fun. Enjoy your SITS Day.
Thank you so much Sheila!
A neon race sounds fun! This looks like a really great weekend with all the fun. =0)
Happy SITS Day!
It really was, I completely recommend doing one! Thank you so much Kim! 🙂
ooo a neon run sounds like soooo much fun! 🙂 You and your family are so cute!
Congrats on your SITS Day!
It was and thanks Jessi! 🙂
Visiting from SITS!
I love that quote about running! I always call myself a wannabe runner because I’m pretty slow, it still doesn’t come to easy for me, and I rarely can push myself for a whole 5K. But.. I used to HaTE running and I continue to have a desire to run and get out there, so that’s something!
Sounds like a great weekend and I can’t wait to read more – new follower!
Thanks for visiting Kristin!
Glad you liked it. 🙂 I’m a pretty slow runner too, but there’s no way I’m going to let that stop me and I’m sure you won’t either! You’re definitely a runner and running any distance is something to be proud of!
Woohoo! Thanks again Kristin! 🙂
Looks like you had a ton of fun! And that food looks delicious! Happy SITS day, btw 🙂
I really did! 😀 Thank you so much for stopping by Martha!
I just love fun runs. Looks like that neon 5k was a great one!
Me too! It was definitely a great one! 🙂
I ran my first 5K, the Color Run back in October and it was awesome! I think a NEON run would be equally exciting. Maybe one will come my way soon? Happy SITS day, belated!
Thanks Jean! 😀 Gosh I’m so jealous of you! I really wanted to do the color run a few months ago but I couldn’t even sign up for it. Apparently too many people tried to sign up at the same time so teh site crashed, oh well. Glad you had a great time at the color run and you should definitely do a glow run! So. Much. Fun.
Happy Holidays Jean!
