Race: The Color Run (3.1 Miles) 00:28:00

Running Miles	Swimming Yards	Bike Miles

Today was the first Color Run Arizona, and it was coloriffic. They didn't time the event, so it was really just a "for fun" run (with your closest 6000 friends... yes you read that right. 6000 runners for a 5K). It was so fun... I loved it. If only the color didn't taste like hairspray or something equally disgusting.

Here I am before with my two little girlies.

And after:

Next year I'm going to register Melanie to run the race with me. (p.s. since it wan't timed, I just put in 28 minutes on the time, but it's just a random number)

OH, so you decided no stroller for the girls during the race??? You certainly did get colorful, I bet Melanie will LOVE it next year!

Yes, I decided against it when I found out how many runners there were. I'm glad I did too, because I think they would gave been gagging with all that chalk trown on them into the stroller where it would have lingered (if you know what I mean)

Did you gaga and choke on it? I can not even handle running through sprinklers. It takes my breath away and makes me have to pee. ;o) Of course, if it hot, i do it anyway.

From Camille on Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 18:22:45 from 71.223.99.43

yes, I gagged. It was colored chalk... so, it was like running through a dust cloud of corn starch or powdered sugar that tasted like hair spray

Should have worn a mask.

next year I'll bring something for sure
