Lost Adventure #4: Color Run!!!

This past week I came down with a sinus and ear infection. This was terrible news considering that the New England Color Run was on Saturday. Luckily, I rested up throughout the week and was able to enjoy the multi-pigmented event!!!

A few months back my best friend tried to get me to sign up the "Funnest 5k on the Planet". At the time I hadn't gotten to a point where I appreciated the running experience so I put off registering and by the time I got around the event was sold out. Of course I wasn't terribly disappointed, but as you can imagine, as the event inched closer the more I wanted to be part of it!

Fortunately, one of the guys in our friend group decided he didn't want to par take and rather fish that weekend so I scored his registration. I am so grateful this happened!

The Mass of people at the start!
The race started out with folks all dressed in white and by the end of the 5k we were covered in assorted colors....which I am still trying to get off.

Not only was it a color fun filled race but I also ran it with some of my best friends! I am so grateful to have friends that are just as active as I am.

Kirby and I :)
The race was an easy run in amazing weather and regardless of being sick I felt great afterwards.  The food and beer following the race help immensely.  I recommend this 5K for anybody!!!
