The Color Run

A week ago my girlfriend, two of her friends, and I went down to San Diego, CA and did The Color Run.  It really is The Happiest 5k on The Planet.

Basically, it's a 5k or 3.1 mile run.  They've added spots throughout the 5k where they cover you in cornstarch that has been dyed.  The colors we ran through where pink, yellow, orange, and blue.  You get absolutely COVERED in it.

At the end of the run they have a venue and stage where everybody gets together and throws more dyed cornstarch into the air.  When we did our color throw it blocked out the sun, completely.

It was a lot of fun.

I ran in my Pearl Izumi Syncro Fuel shoes.  They're from a couple of years ago as far as the model.  I picked them up at the outlet in Dawsonville, GA.  They're sweet, really lightweight.  Mine happen to be white in color.  Thankfully, they went back to white after one wash and now they don't stink! HA!
