Ok folks the Color Run post, the post I know you have all been waiting for :-) I will first start with Saturday I went for a 9 mile run with my running partner and when we started at 9am, it was already 75 degrees. We still got the run in but it wasn't our finest run. I heard that Sunday was suppose to be equally hot but I was very pleased when I woke up when there was cloud cover and much cooler than the day before. I was meeting 5 other girls there, and I was pleased that Sean wanted to come down and hang out. Leeann, her two friends, Selma and her roommate Marjan participate in the run. While Sean and I were waiting for the other girls, a group next to us had two extra running bibs from two girls of their group who didn't show up. I didn't think twice but told Sean to get one of those bibs so he could participate as well.
One of the announcers said that there were 12,000 participants that day and we saw people of all ages!
I saw this sea of white t-shirts moving towards the starting line and then before you knew it, they were off and you looked off into the distance and then you saw clouds of yellow, pink and green.
Our group was up next and we were standing there anticipating plenty of fun and color and we were not disappointed!
Here are some before photos.
And after.
Leaf blowers were used to help remove some of the colored powdered
I love the girl in the pink skirt
So moral of the story, if you want to have fun, be very colorful and even exercise a little bit sign up for the Color Run! You won't regret it.
p.s. stop the presses! I found my wedge for the summer since I couldn't afford those $100 wedges I liked most as pointed as in my Friday post. THESE are the wedges I need for the summer. Thank you Target for you $28 price.

Oh my goodness! This looks like SO much fun!!!
My sister told me about this race! They actually have one in Nashville which isn't too far from me, so I may go!
And congrats on making it 9 miles in 75 degree heat. I know EXACTLY how hard that is. Kudos to you!
I have seen Color Run posts from a few bloggers this week, looks so fun!
I had never heard of this race before and then I am hearing about it constantly now. Maybe that is a sign that I should do it! haha. Looks like SO much fun.
Really sorry. The Add Comment link didn't pop up until after I submitted my reply, which I thought was the comment link. Does that make sense. Am I missing something? Because I def hit reply on other blogs thinking I was commenting on the blog post and not the previous reader's comment. oops!
I really wish I'd signed up for the Color Run! Looks like so much fun (Rhymes! Ah!).
My hubs and I have a goal of running two races per year, and this year we decided to make one of them an obstacle race, so I'm hoping to find a mud run or something similar this summer!
This looks just beyond fun! I would love to do it! And love that shoe - what would we do without target?!
Oh my gosh, how fun! I have been hearing about these color runs but I have no idea if they do them in Texas... I will have to find out!
that looks so awesome! i want to do one so bad, i just barely missed the ones in the south because of school! glad you had fun, lovvve the pics! (and the shoes, well done!)
Oh my gosh, where do you live? I am doing this SAME run this weekend at 9 am! And I'm in Utah. How fun, these photos make me excited to go!

I love this! I wish I could have made it, I am really bummed. I love all of your pictures!
YAY! I love The Color Run post and definitely want to sign up for one one day.
And yes, stop the presses!! Those wedges are awesome!!
I'm so glad your husband got to do it with you bc you would have been bored walking with us lol!
We noticed that those who ran got less color. It's bc you're too speedy to get hit :)
I am thinking of doing The Color Run in November. I am doing a couch to 5k program now.
This looks like so much fun!
This post just made me even more excited for the Color Run! And hooray for Target and their affordable shoes :o)
The Color Run looks like such a blast!! I love the t-shirts they gave you too. Did you wear a bandana to protect your hair? I love those wedges you got from Target! I need to check those out! :)
I really did want to go!
I am so doing this when it comes to Dallas. It is right up my alley! I mean where else can you wear color all over your body and get by with it?
Looks really fun..... and messy! :)

ahh!! i want to do a color run so badly and i think i'll get to this fall... one question for you color run veteran.. did it ruin your shoes?? i've been so curious!! hah
Portland is having a color run in September and I was thinking about doing it! It looks so fun!
wow! this is awesome. Where is the color run anyways? Definitely interested in signing up for next time.
And those wedges are great! I feel like you'll be able to wear a lot of outfits with those.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! I love the picture of you two lying on the ground! You have the biggest, most genuine smile on your face and it makes me happy! I can't wait for the color run to come to NYC this summer!
So so cool! One of my friends did that this weekend too!! New follower :)

Glad you had fun lady! Glad also Sean got to run with you, you would have been bored with us...and lucky you, we got colored and are still stained a little. :)
