Color Me Rad Winnipeg

Mission Accomplished!  I ran the Color Me Rad 5K in 27 minutes and 10 seconds...and I had a blast doing it!  I'm really glad I chose this run to be my first ever race because it was so fun and laid back.  I only had myself to compete with and I never felt embarrassed or stressed out that I wasn't going to make my time. I could write about how much fun I had but I think when talking about a race like the Color Run, you kind of have to be there to get anything out of it, so instead of telling how much fun I had, I thought I'd just show you instead...
My roommate and I before heading to the main stage to listen to music and get covered in even more color.

Getting ready for the final color bomb!

Crossing the finish line!


What an unreal day!


Welcome to the gun show...

Well at least I know the mesh in my free runs works!

Race Bib and free shades


Don't even try to tell me this doesn't look like a good time...
Now that the race is over I am even more determined than ever to run a 10K and maybe even a half marathon.  I've learned to love running (finally) and can't wait to keep training.  That being said I'd realized I had neglected my regular workout routine while I was training for the 5K so I decided to get back at it today.  Not going to lie, it was a bit rough.  I did a kickboxing video and finished up with Ab Ripper X.  I actually found the kickboxing to be easier (my cardio  and endurance has increased dramatically since I've started running!) but I couldn't even keep up with Ab Ripper.  I really need to focus on my upper body and my core so maybe that will be my next project..

To health and happiness!
