Color Run!

A new post...I know that's a rarity around here lately! Thanks to those who tagged me in their posts - I hope to  get around to filling those out. :)

Anyways, this past weekend I did the first-ever (in Phoenix) Color Run! It was a freaking blast - definitely recommend it if it comes to your city! My only complaint is that I wish they would have had the race start in waves (there were 6,000 of us!) because it got quite congested at times. I'm sure they will make that improvement for next year.

This was our team "We Color Outside the Lines." Nice & clean to start off. :)

Since it was so crowded, this was the only part of our team that managed to stay together through the race. This was after two color stations.

And here we are at the finish - color everywhere! (Except for Joey who had already had his color blown off by a leaf blower - seriously.)

This was the after party - every 15 minutes people would throw color in the air.

Next to Warrior Dash, this was one of the most fun races I have done. And i use "race" very loosely, as it wasn't timed and was just for fun. But that definitely made the 3 miles go by fast!

So about that half marathon I was going to do in March - yeah, not going to happen. I slacked off and haven't been training. I've been going to the gym (!) but haven't been doing any long runs and don't feel prepared at all. Plus, it sold out before I could sign up.

C'est la vie!

My next race is the Warrior Dash at the end of April - need to start training for the obstacles. ;)

Ok, I'm a horrible blogger. But honestly, life just hasn't been too exciting lately & it's left me with nothing to blog about!

So, about that half marathon Tom & I were going to do in March....oops. I haven't been training. Well, correction. I have been working out and running, but I haven't been following a training plan like in the past. So I really think it's going to be a last minute decision if we run it or not.

Tom & I did go out for a 4 mile run on Saturday and it went really, really well! Maybe my time at the gym has paid off because we were running 12 minute miles without a problem!

Anyone in the Arlington, VA area? Because I command you to do this race!! I wish they would do something like that here in Phoenix!
