Have you ever thought of doing a 5k Color Run? Me too! You’re not the only one who would get a thrill from running while also getting sprayed with PAINT!
A couple of weeks ago I pulled out my running shoes and hit the pavement for the first time in over a year!
It took me a moment to set a decent pace as well as get my breathing on track, but after a few moments, it came back to me just like riding a bicycle.
On my run, I began to reminisce about the first time I ever ran in a 5k race. I was nervous, my heart was pounding. There were so many people! Would I be able to finish? Will I get tired? How could I compete?
As the horn sounded to start the race, I realized I wasn’t competing against what seemed like a thousand others. I was competing against myself. I set a personal goal to complete the race with very little walking and I achieved that goal! I even got interviewed by the local newspaper.
If you enjoy running or walking, you should consider doing a race! Set a personal goal for yourself and DO IT! It’s exhilarating to be amongst others that share the love of running. It’s also a great place to meet other local runners.
So what are you waiting for? Scared to do it alone? Grab some friends and sign up for a COLOR RUN! Nothing says friendship like running while being covered in PAINT! You’ll have some awesome SELFIES to share when you cross the finish line! GOOD LUCK!
Have you done a COLOR RUN? If so, I’d love to know about your experience! Drop a comment and tell me all about it!
