Color Me Rad is coming to my city in July and I'm on track, training for it. Without training, I know I can easily walk 5 km, with absolutely no preparation. I've done 12km that way before.

So what makes the addition of color bombs so exciting????


LOL...

    I'm thinking of doing a Color Bash 5k that's coming up in a couple of weeks. It sounds so fun but costs twice as much as the 5k I just did.

    It's a fun run, it's not even timed.

    The whole point is to have fun.

    I'm doing a Color Run in August, just as an excuse to hang out with one of my girlfriends that I don't see often!

    I take my grandkids and they love it. They were 3 and 5 last year. I also took my two year old great niece. She ran for a mile without stopping! Its just a fun time.

    I'm doing the CMR in July here. And I am thinking that I finally found a use for my wedding dress (am now divorced, so no sentimental value). I just have to hem it so that I can run in it!

    I did the Color Run last Saturday - it was definitely fun! I also trained for it, and I did run the whole thing, but it's not necessary - the whole point is to have fun!

    My 6 year old and I did our towns version of the color run in June. It was so much fun with him.

    It was pricey, but it was a lot of fun. The fun takes your mind of the effort you're exerting. I don't regret forking out the money that first time, but I wouldn't do it again.

    I am doing the color me rad in Albany NY in 8 days..I am so excited and can't wait..this will be my first time doing color me rad. My sister in law is going with me and we made up a couple tee shirts with out team name. I probably won't be running it due to my knee not being able to deal with all the running but I might try to jog and walk it...=)

    I am signed up for this one in Albany as well! My friend convinced me to sign up back in July and it inspired me to start running all the time now!

    Fun... run...

    Those two words have never fit together for me. Always envy people who enjoy it.

    I did it! I loved it so much! It's just like... I don't know, it really puts the fun back into the idea of a fun run.

    I trained for it and went with a friend who is embarrassingly more in shape than I am, but when we'd run by the "colour stations", it was so much fun and we'd laugh and throw colour bombs at eachother. I dunno, it was just a very light, good spirited time!

    I did the Spartan Race, as well, and a lot of people took it very seriously and just weren't fun, or even really nice at some points. Having said that, I did still run into a lot of lovely people!
