The Color Run

Three weeks ago I posted this photo on Instagram:

It's a photo of my first day of training for a 5k Color Run which I ran last Sunday. 

^ ^ ^ ^

I hadn't worked out since pregnant with Micha, 

and I had left myself only three weeks to train my lazy bum for a 5k. 

Eek! I was scared!

But I trained, every other morning I made myself head out the door with Micha in the stroller and run. 

Every day I ran a little farther and a little faster.

And on Sunday I put all my hard work into practice, it was such an awesome experience.

I loved participating in The Color Run because while it was a 5k, it was a fun run too. 

The pressure to run within a certain time was off. 

But my friend and I did time our run and we finished in 35 minutes, 

and that includes the all 'traffic jams' at the Color Zones. 

Pretty okay, I think!

^ ^ ^ ^

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking:

before the run

'we made it!'

after the massive 'Color Toss'

The whole 'Color Run' experience was just so much fun, I can't wait to participate again next year!


Have you ever done a 'Color Run'? 
If not, do it!
