On Labor Day my family and I had the most fun ever ......
as we became Color Runners with some great friends!
The Color Run is said to be the Happiest 5K on the planet!
We ran in Birmingham Al, at the Barber Motorsports Parkway.
We started the 5K pristine and clean....although drenched to the bone
in torrential rains that just wouldn't stop.
We finished looking like a rainbow threw up on us!
We were there extra early and it paid off as we lined up and were in the
first wave of runners to start.....not
only that, we were 10ft from the starting line!
(at the 2K mark we had been covered in red and blue)
The motorsport track is 5K and full of more hills than I usally run.
I was able to run the whole thing though with a 30 min time.
Unfortunately, my husband and son both have terrible chest colds.
At the last minute after getting soaked
they both decided not to run.
Their support of my running madness is so wonderful though!
After we finished we stopped to eat lunch and noticed
that it had stopped raining.......
so the girls and I had a little color celebration of our own
on the lawn where we ate.
Good thing the rain will wash it all away quickly :)
Most definitely a day to remember, and we
can't wait to do this again!
What will I do next????
I am so glad you asked.......
Next month we are running the extreme, mud crawling, fire leaping
(yes I mean all of that literally)
5K Warrior Dash in Warrior Alabama.
What a great place to run a Warrior Dash.
