Eric hates running and he hates being dirty.... so naturally I thought it would be a great idea to sign us both up for the color me rad 5k! A few of our friends signed up for it as well so I knew we'd have a good time :)
a not so subtle photo bomb
Before the race even started Eric swore he'd never run another race ever again. Something about an early morning wake up call, an estimated 10,000 runners, no breakfast and the excitement dread of color bombs being thrown at him may have had him a little on edge? Despite his negativity I was super excited for this race!
I'm happy to say that we all ran the whole time (not a whole lot of training happened leading up to this race, ha!) We don't know our time because they weren't timing us, it really was all about the fun :) A couple poor, unsuspecting children thought it would be funny to color bomb our husbands.... I'm sure those kids will be washing color out of their hair for the next week by the time the men were finished with them. And of course we had our own color war :) And if you can't tell by the pictures.... I daresay Eric had a little bit of fun on Saturday! I hope he'll run more races with me in the near future!
And a huge thank you to mom and dad B. for coming up and watching Mia while we were of inhaling more gluten free color powder that we've ever wanted to ;)

SOOOO FUN! I hope there is a color run close by the next time we are in the states! They look awesome and I HATE RUNNING! This would be my only hope. haha!

SO MUCH FUN!!!! I had wanted to do this (my husband, like yours, hates running and getting dirty, hahaha) but the one here fell on the same day as my little sister's big dance show. Aw, man. Maybe next time! This looks so fun!

Im obsessed with all the fun 5k's they have these days. Obsessed. I did the bubble run and now I am HOOKED. They are seriously the best motivation to run everrr. Glad you had fun running yours :)
what a fun way to get out there and run! Love it. Hope your husband does it again with you :)
That looks like sooooo much fun! I'd love to do something like that but would LOVE for someone to pull me in a wagon or something of the sort ;)
How much fun, I've heard about things about this 5K!
One day I'll do it! One day. Court, they're having a glow run up North in August. I so would do that, I would. Let's all do it.
How the heck do you run a 5k without stopping and not even trained for it?!?!
Well it looks like he had fun after all. :)
congratulations on the run! looks like a blast! so fun and rewarding. <3<3
I'd have to do lots of convincing my husband to get me to do any kind of run with me... and I've always wanted to do a color run! Just yesterday my husband was reminiscing the 5k we did where he, in his words, "almost died". Haha.
This looks like sooo much fun!
How did I miss this? Looks like so much fun!!! COLOR RUNS are the best! Isn't it a great way to have a good time and you don't really run that hard?:) haha! My husband was Thor and I was his back up- were weird I know:)
I love your bandanna! So much fun!
I've wanted to do a color run for like forever! It looks like a blast!
