YEP! This coming Saturday, June 15th, 2013....I will run the color run 5k in my wedding dress!!! I knew there must be a holy "higher calling" reason why it wouldn't sell on Craigslist!

There was something incredibly theraputic and zen-like about butchering my wedding dress in my kitchen naked imbetween fittings!!!

Hey! Another PRO of being single and living alone!! My 10 month old was in bed!!

BRING ON THE COLOR!!!!! (Kinda am hoping the XWH and MOW show up to this race! I might even do a pagent wave in their direction!! )

OH! I am SOOOO getting pics in that dress!!! In fact.... I might even take a flute glass and some ginger ale with me so that my pics look like I'm making a toast before (and AFTER!)

I'm gonna be the prettiest darn bride....AGAIN... and the funny ironic part is.... that it will be a colorful dress when its all over... just like my mouth was when my marriage was over after the A.....very colorful!!

I didn't even have a moment of pause when I chopped into that big fluffy dress either.... and I thought I would! I "almost" heard the theme music from the movie psycho.. (And... I just can't seem to understand why I'm still single!!! )

Ah well... I'm having too much fun to be in a relationship right now!!! Bring on the colored powder!!

GREAT Idea! I ran a Spartan Sprint obstacle course race in Atlanta in March, and a girl did it in her wedding dress! She did it to get over the loss and betrayal of her divorce.

Shelly, that is an AMAZING idea!!! PLEASE post pics!!

And I hope XWH and MOW see you too - lol!

I've thought about selling mine but now that Target is going to have a $99 selection of wedding gowns, I think I could make better use of it another way.

Thanks ya'll!!! I can't wait to run in it!! I had fun cookie-cutting the crap out of it too with my scissors to conform to a cute design that I could run in....short in the front and longer in the back! I'm even gonna wear my cathedral veil....but I cut it in half so its not too long!
