K Recommends!

I am going to try and begin a new feature on my blog called "K Recommends!". These will be applications, websites or services that I find useful. I am not sponsored by any of these (unless otherwise noted).

Timehop

Official Description:

Timehop brings together your old photos and updates from Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram, flickr and your camera roll. It makes all these memories into easily sharable items, helping you tell the stories of the past.

Cost: FREE, available on Itunes

These applicaiton is greta for people that like to look back on past Facebook posts, tweets, and photos from today. I love this app because it helps remind me just how far I have come. My first runs have come up in my feed, my first race, and eevn photos that I forgot all about that made me smile once again. Like this one!

IFTT

Description:
IFTTT is a service that lets you create powerful connections with one simple statement......

If you have noticed blog posts from me for Instagram photos here those were all created using recipes on IFTTT. It allows me to have Instagram posts directly fed into my blog. You can create many different recipes and it can help take a lot of the back end work we do to create a fluid message wihout going into three or four apps. Not all apps are available yet but every bit helps.

Example of how to make a recipe!

Here is a screenshot of the Instagram recipe I use for my blog....

I hope this information was useful and if you try these apps let me know what you think!

The best advice I ever got was this. There's no "just" or "only" when it comes to fitness. Be proud of what you accomplish. #runwithk

The Color Run™ - My Upcoming Run and a Giveaway!

(Sponsored Post)

This weekend myself and my two cousins will be particpating in the Color Run™ in Ventura, CA. We have our get ups all planned and are looking forward to some colorful fun together. It's Jami's first 5K. Pam is a bit more experienced with a few races under her newly acquired brown belt in Krav Maga (kudos to my girl).

For this weekend, this race is all about getting together with family and enjoying the fun. We plan on having a lot of that come race day. So excited to run this in Cali and getting in some down time after a busy few weeks at work. Fun is always a sure fire cure for that.

So, what exactly is the Color Run?

The Color Run™, is.known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet. It is a unique paint race that celebrates "healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community". The Color Run is an un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer.

FUN!!!

The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival".

Sounds like a great idea to me! Be on the look out for my before and after photos and a full race report.

The folks at the Color Run™ have generously offered me some race bibs for the Las Vegas event to be held on February 22, 2014 in fabulous Downtown Las Vegas. To enter my first giveaway for one of the bibs please click link below:
