The Color Run

This past Friday a group of us girls headed to Atlanta to participate in The Color Run.  If you're not familiar with The Color Run here's the run down: It's a 5K and for every kilometer you pass you are coated with a different color.  We woke up early Saturday morning and headed to the Atlanta Motor Speedway, where the 5K would be taking place.  When we got there we were surrounded by people in white shirts and running shoes.  The crowd was insane (to the tune of about 6,000 people).  We lined up for the run to begin.

We didn't all run at once though.  They sent us in heats.  We were in the 3rd heat, so for a while we just stood around.  They had music playing all around us and people were dancing- that made the time go by pretty fast.  We started off at a slow jog due to the crowd around us.  However we quickly realized that we would be doing a lot more walking than running.  There were just too many people around and the crowd was backed up at each color station.  But we were cool with that.  First up was the yellow station.

Then green.

Next up- pink!

Then purple.

And last was The Color Run After-Party.  Everyone was given a packet of color to use.

And it went something like this...

And at the end we looked like this...

Let's get a closer look at that...

We were indeed colorful.

After enjoying the after party, we hopped in the car to head home.  I had a wedding to be at that night and I was praying all of the color came off of my body and hair.  We stopped at Subway for the lunch and got some crazy looks.  But the craziest looks came when I went to get a pedicure and manicure that afternoon.  But then again, who could blame them with feet that looked like this?!
