Zac + I ran The Color Run5K on Saturday.  It was CRAZY!!!  I was shocked at how many people were there (10,000).  We got there early and the line up was already super long.  They let you go in waves of 1,000-1,500 people.  We were wave 5.  It was neat to see that many people dressed up in white in one place.  I was excited to get to the first color zone to see what it was all about :)  I stayed in the middle (low color lane) and covered my mouth with my buff band.  It wasn't too bad.  Zac didn't cover his mouth and he said he almost choked haha.  I left that first color zone without much color at all (bummer!).  Every color zone it got packed and there were lines on the outside to get the color so I pretty much stayed in the middle dodging people that were laying on the ground, haha.  I was trying to keep up my pace as much as possible, but it was hard to move around people.  Zac + I lost each other about halfway through the race.  I didn't even stop for water and made my best time ever which I was very happy about!!!  Yay!  I finished in 32:21.

  3. Congrats on such a good finish time. Whooohooo!
    These color runs look like so much fun! Good idea to cover your mouth to prevent gagging on the colors. I never would have thought of that.
