Color Run!

The first weekend of April I participated in the Color Run with my friends Rebekah and Amanda.  If you haven't heard of the Color Run before here's the run down (pun intended).  You run a 5K and at each color station (every 1K) you get covered in a powder of different colors.  The first one is blue, then orange, pink and then yellow.  Before the race begins everyone is given a color packet and you save it for the very end.  Once you cross the finish line you immediately head over to this on-going dance party and throw your color packet up into the air - kinda like your hat at graduation.  Now the race isn't timed and there's so many people there that you can't REALLY get an awesome time - it's more about getting off your butt and having a good time.  We were able to jog the whole time, but had to dodge people and slow down a big until we could maneuver around them.  Also, you have to slow down at the color stations, too, if you want to get a good coating on you.  It's kinda funny because as you're coming up to each color station you see a cloud of powder looming around it.  Super fun and I recommend it - even if you're not a seasoned runner.
