The Happiest 5k on the Planet!

I'd have to concur with The Color Run's catch phrase of it being the happiest 5k on the planet.   I first read about it on Cakies earlier this year and was excited to see that San Diego was going to host its first ever Color Run in November, so that's when we invited the lovely people pictured below to join in the fun!  What sold us on this 5k in addition to the expected fun to be had was that it was a 5k CATERED TO NON-ATHELTIC PEOPLE {we walked the whole damn thing...RIGHT SIDERS FTW!}!  Sure, we look pretty healthy and fit, but let's be real, only two people in the picture below actually work out or have joined a {gym/kickboxing} membership and actually exercise.  The rest of us are either too busy with work or too stressed out with school.  

Be prepared for pictures galore!

Our before picture.

There were two runs in San Diego, a 9:30am and 1:30pm.  &&& due to the high volume of people in attendance, the afternoon race started in waves.

&&& Team Color Me... Wait for it... completed the happiest 5k color happy and injury free!

Note to self for next year: Keep your mouth close {unless you want colored teeth of course} and I don't mean shut up!

They provided a "cleaning station" which just meant standing in front of a leaf blower to remove excess color.  

I'm not sure how the rest of our friends washed away the color off their hair and skin, but Cakies recommends rinsing off the color by taking an ice cold shower.  Mister B. and I took warm showers and tackled each other's body with loofahs {TMI? Oh well!}.  I'm just saying, I found excess patches of color in places I didn't expect.

Anyway... if there's a Color Run coming to a city near you, do it!  We're certainly doing it again next year with fun and quirky ideas in mind to represent our team and so we can be able to identify each other in the masses.
