It Was Rad!

I survived the 5k Color Me Rad on Saturday. It was seriously so much fun! We are already planning more elaborate outfits for next year's race.

I started out so clean that morning.

At the start line, everyone looking all clean in their white shirts.

Or alternate title, I Really Hope I Don't Die!

I mentioned last week that I'm planning on running a 5K in December, and have been doing the C25K program to get in shape for it. Well, now I've been talked into running another 5K. One that is coming up much, much sooner!

I've been dying to do a color run, so when a friend of a friend asked me to join her team, I only took a little convincing. But it's in only 2 weeks! I definitely won't be done with C25K by then.

But who can resist being pelted with colored corn starch, while running in a crowd?

Fingers crossed I don't die trying this. At least the race isn't timed. And I've heard that things are usually so crowded, it's hard to run fast anyway. Yes, I think that's the answer. If I need a walking break, I can just blame the crowds!

Have you done a color run like Color Me Rad or The Color Run? Were things really crowded? And was it fun anyway?
