The Color Run, 2013!

This was my 2nd ever 5k and probably the funnest and most "colorful!" I found out about the color run sometime last year. I follow a blogger/runner (Skinnyrunner.com) who had an advertisement on her page for the Color Run. So I talked with the girls and got them to register! It just so happens that one of our other friends was turning 30 that weekend so we decided to do the run and celebrate MaryBeth turning the big 3-0!

What a great time! Dallas is one of my most favorite places to visit, not only does it have amazing food, shopping and the Texas Rangers, it's just a great city and the atmosphere is wonderful. We actually stayed in Ft. Worth because pretty much everything we wanted to do was downtown except for the run itself.
We had an early wake up call Saturday morning because the race start time had changed from 9am to 8am and we had about a 30 min drive ahead of us and wanted to be early. Getting 5 girls up and ready at 5am and out the door by at least 6:15am wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I think we all were a little excited to put on our "outfits" and get to the race. Thank goodness for having a Starbucks in the lobby of our hotel and the sweet barista who made us free coffee :)
There were so many people in white when we showed up, we definitely stood out :) We had on our neon for sure!

                                                                           So clean!

                                                                Pre-color! At the start line

                                                               Right after yellow and orange

                                                         Almost to the finish! Found a fun wall

                                            Finished!!!! Opened our individual color packets ;-)

                                         My favorite picture of the day!!! We had so much fun

What a great weekend with friends! I say you all should experience a CR once in your life, even if you aren't a runner :) Happiest 5k on the planet!
