A couple of friends and I decided to hit the pavement (literally and figuratively speaking) and run The Color Run in Phoenix over the weekend. It was a quick trip, we drove to Tucson Friday night, crashed at Trish's, left at 5am to head into Phoenix, ran the race, hit up Ikea, and then came back home. Needless to say we were a LOT wee bit tired by Saturday night.
There were 6000, yes I said 6000 runners so it was WAY bigger than anything any of us had ever run. We were finishing and people were still just beginning. NUTS I tell you!
Everyone had to wear shirts that were 90% white otherwise they would kick you out. I can't believe that's actually true but no one wanted to take the risk :)
It was almost a costume run in some senses. There were tutus and wigs GALORE!
Every K was a different color so we ended up running through yellow, green, purple, and pink and came out looking like this...
and this...
My Color Run experience was completed during our trip to IKEA where a little boy told his momma "I'm scared of the tall painted lady!!" Nice...
Quick side note...I am apparently allergic to something in the starch that they throw and sneezed violently with profuse waterworks from my right eye for 36hrs following the race. The things you just don't know until you try hah!
