I completely forgot to write a post about the Color Run 2012 in Philadelphia. We had so much fun running it! It was my first 5k. I wasn’t able to run the entire time..but I did a pretty good job..considering I hadn’t ran in over a year. The first color station wasn’t impressive…but then we got to the next one and it was incredible! you could barely see anything. There were so many runners, but it didn’t feel crowded. And the atmosphere was so much fun. I can’t wait to do it next year, and I think I’ll bring my 5 year old along this time! I highly recommend doing it if it is coming to your city or town.
Afterwards, we walked to Starbucks to get a bite to eat. It was so much fun walking around the city seeing people in their colors! People were everywhere covered in color! We took the high speed line home and walked all the way home..which my children weren’t happy about…but I figured it was a good ending to a 5k.
The toughest part was cleaning up…..trying not to get the color everywhere in the house. Even after washing and scrubbing…it was still a bit in our hair and on our skin. There is also some still on the carpet, outside the bathroom!
