clouds of color

15SEP12
two sisters.
one really fun time.

i decided i wanted to do this last week.... 
i'm a planner. i have prided myself on being thoughtful when it comes to doing things. the older i get, the more reckless i find myself ;) which isn't necessarily a bad thing, except for the blister on the bottom of my foot and my noodle legs :) the great thing is there was lots of people who signed up for this event without much notice or preparation either lol. i over heard someone say over 6,000 people joined the party (who may or may no have planned).

at the start line we all had one thing in common, a white t-shirt (or some version of a white t-shirt). the color zones made each leg of the race so much fun and something to look forward too. there was a water station at the halfway mark. there were lots of smiling faces and so much positive energy! there were lots of cheers and high fives and color. there were parents running and walking. kids running, riding on the shoulders of their family, being pushed in strollers and there was some being dragged along lol. there were lots of volunteers to make the event safe and fun. there was lots of music and dancing, and strutting around in their colorful costumes. at the end of the race there was only hints of the white t-shirts :)

NEXT TIME (because there will BE a NEXT TIME):

  • plan on planning just a little bit
  • better running shoes
  • maybe train for it ;)
  • have more family and friends join the fun
  • tutu's (some of the participants had tutu's with wings, tutu's with capes, tutu's with amazingly colorful socks)

check out the website and see if the color run is coming to your area.
sign up.
you wont be sorry you did :)
