The Color Run 2013

Another item I can check off from my bucket list. If you know me you would know I hate running and anything to do with it, so being excited to run a race was surprisingly to me. I was so excited for this I even had a countdown app on my phone to countdown to this event. I have been counting down since I signed up for this race months ago. I was also glad we made the decision to go up the night before.
We went and picked up our packets the day before at Sports Authority. They had a lot of cool stuff that you could buy if you wanted to. I ended up buying a pair of sunglasses and an arm band to keep my phone in during the race. Then it was off to the mall to find my mom and "the girl from work" a tutu to wear during the race. Then we went to eat and then to the bookstore, it was a pretty good day. We also snapped this pretty funny picture of us the night before the race.
Race morning came and we headed over to go run. It was a nice clear day after a couple rainy days. It wasnt too hot though so that was nice. I was excited to start the race to get my too white clothes colorful =].

This was us before the race.

During the race, this was actually after we passed the yellow zone on the way back we came and got some extra yellow =]. I tried to take a lot of pictures during the race but looking back at my camera I wish I would have taken more. Now I know better for next year!

After you finish there is an "after party" where they throw color and throw free stuff. It was fun but unfortunately I didnt catch anything. The after party is where I got most of my color on me. Let me tell you it feels weird when someone throws color at you, it almost feels like a wet substance but its just a powder.

This is how I ended up looking after the race. It was the funnest 3 miles I have ever jogged/walked. I had color all over the place.

I even got to meet the runicorn! Now for more pictures =]

 Caitlin and I at the after party. Notice my raccoon eyes!

 My mom and I <3 love this picture soooo much.

 Heading back to the car.

 Such a fun time with these two =]

I am so glad I was finally able to do this race and glad I got to do it with some amazing people. I am really glad I got to do it with my mom and Caitlin. I can't wait for next year!
