Hey guys! I’ve had a great day so far.
I woke up at 6:30 this morning excited to run my first ever Color Run! I bought a groupon for it a while back and have been waiting for the day to come for a good while! Since it was only a 5k and my stomach is not big on eating early in the morning, I just had a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter on one side and jelly and Norwegian cheese on the other. I had a little bit of time to catch up on blogs while I sipped on coffee and wanted to wish Miranda good luck on her half marathon! You go girl!
After a little while, Kyle came to pick me up before we both headed over to get my two cousins who were also running. It was a bit intimidating running with them, especially my youngest cousin, because they run cross country. Luckily, he had run a fast 7 miles the day before and didn’t mind going at my pace ;).
The Color Me Rad race took place at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles and looped around the entirety of the property. About every 5 minutes, a different color was thrown at us and it was way too much fun screaming and yelling with the volunteers as they bombarded us with the colored cornstarch! I have to say, this race went by SO fast. I would definitely recommend this race to anyone as it was so casual and focused more on having a great time rather than actually racing for a time. We came out looking like this!
After our run, we stopped to get some delicious and freshly made lemonade. It was so good! Strawberry was definitely the way to go ;).
As we got into the car and tried to maneuver ourselves onto some towels, we noticed some brochures of some other races coming up! They were for muddy races with obstacles, and I feel like I caught the fever for short and fun runs. If anyone is in the LA area and would possibly like to meet up, I’d be more than game ;)!
The plan for the rest of the day is to head over to the Grandma’s house for some home cookin’ and more blog reading. I’ve asked this before, but I’m looking to expand my blog-reading horizons and would love to find some more! Let me know if you’d like me to check yours out :).
