My husband and I signed up to do a 5K in November! My first. It is the color run! I'm so excited! Anyone done this particular "race" before? It look so fun :D

I've never run ever... I ran a mile a few times in high school because I HAD to haha I have been doing elliptical lately, but will have to get on the treadmil here soon lol

    I did a color run in July. It was a blast! Don't worry about going fast. It's a casual race and is not even timed. There were people of all sorts there. Athletes, toddlers, parents pushing strollers, people pushing wheelchairs, etc. Just enjoy youself! It's like a giant party after. I would suggest wearing sunglasses, though!

    Awesome! I am doing my first 5K in November as well. Good luck! I'm sure you have heard of it, but if not, it's worth bringing up the "c25K" training program. It's working great for me so far.

    Im doing my first color run in Oct. :drinker:

    Just a note- tredmill is GREAT.... but if you can get outside and run a few times prior to the "race"... that really helped me in the beginning. Good luck!!
