On Saturday I ran my first 5k of the year with three of my really good friends! ( Emily, Kristen and Lauren) This was my first ever color run and the first 5k I had done in almost four years. I'm proud to say I ran the entire thing! ( Which was something I was worried about seeing as I hadn't been able to run the whole week before the race.)
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to run in a Color me Rad run or don't even know what one is for that matter let me explain. Color me Rad one of the many "color runs" as they are often called that happens across the U.S. In a "color run" the racers dress in mostly white athletic wear (although some wear tutus as you will see Kristen doing in the pictures below!) and throughout the race they are pelted with colored corn starch. By the time they have completed the race their lovely white clothes have been completely re-fashioned into crazy colored suits of triumph! In the race I ran they had a "color station" each kilometer which I was a fan of because it made it easy to know how close you were to the finish line.
This race was the perfect end to a week full of pandemonium. I would gladly take part in another Color me Rad run in the future and was excited to get to experience it with three super awesome ladies! Thank you Emily, Kristen and Lauren for telling me about the race and inviting me to come along! Special thanks to Kristen for bringing her phone to the race so that these pictures were possible!
