These days hashtags are everywhere. You can't log on to twitter without seeing them, and now on facebook. Some are stupid and pointless, while others help. I try to stay away from looking at ones like yolo. That is just a bunch of people doing stupid things.
If I go to another city I will check out that hashtag just to see what that city is like. It is a great way to learn about the area and the people.
I don't follow politics. However when there is a big debate going on I can follow the hashtags and figure out what is going on. Reading other people's views also helps me in deciding what to do. They also help during major sporting events. If you aren't able to watch but want to know what is going on find a hashtag and boom you know!
Hope this helped some people out!!

5K Fun Run
Last year my friends and I did a 5K fun run. It was the Color Mob 5K. It is like The Color Run or Color Me Rad. It was fun for the most part. With any event you do there will be pros and cons.
I did another 5K yesterday. I will admit I like getting the shirts, and as a fluffy girl, I do them to prove to myself and others that I can do it. Yesterday's run was Run or Dye. In this blog I will give my pros and cons to both races.
Color Mob 5K
Pros~ The money from your entry fee is for a charity. You get to hang out with your friends and strangers. Its a workout. You go home multicolored. Some of the volunteers were firefighters. Beer garden!
Cons~ No info before hand on packet pickup. No color packets to toss yourself. One water station with little Dixie cups of water. Done in the middle of the day in August.
Run or Dye
Pros~ You get a swag bag (a backpack with a tattoo, and a color packet). You get constant emails updating you on the event. Two water stations as you go. Loud music and an on site store to buy more swag. Photographers take your photos before, during and after the event. Medics on site and Park Rangers. Felt more family friendly.
Cons~ First part of May in the Inland Northwest (Very cold). The first water station ran out of water. The last color ran out of color very early in the run. Rocky uneven surface to run on.
This is all I can think of for now. If I update it I will put that in the title.
Let me know if you have done a fun run. What one did you do and did you like it?
