Mijo and I have decided to start running. We thought it would be a good way to get back in shape, and there are lots of fun themed 5Ks I am excited to work my way up to.
I will be stoked to get to do the color run. I have included it below. does anyone participate in things like this? Or have similar things in their part of the world? I would love to hear all about it!

I trained and did a 10k run for charity in aid of Cancer Research UK.. It was really fun and we got small medals at the end of the race.. It was really fun to do, i paid about £17 to enter the race and you get send a pack which includes a branded T-Shirt, Paper to stick on your t-shirt with your race number and a message for someone who has suffered with cancer.. I personally didn't have anyone to write my message to, so i left it open and just wrote "For everyone that has suffered, this is my gift... Support."
I raised about £200 which may not seem like much, but to me was an epic triumph and i would gladly do it again :-D

That's awesome James! I hope you do get to do it again. I wish I could do something like that, but I think I'm going to donate my hair once it grows long enough for me to get annoyed enough with it! It's just past my waist and I may cut it next year lol

What is the building you are standing in front of? It's so pretty!
I have done events for cancer before, and I didn't have anyone in my life affected with cancer.
Any future events, will be in support of my dad, echi and tuck! <3

I just registered to do the Color Run in Chicago October 14th!
I created a Team so friends and family could join me, and I tried hard to come up with an awesome name.
I first picked "Taste the Rainbow" but that name was already taken. I suggested The Painted Ladies" or the "Rainbow Brites" but my son was not interested in those names... <.< party pooper.
So our team name is: IN LIVING COLOR

Did the color run this past Sunday! Yes! That is the Chicago event, and we are in that color crowd cloud somewhere! LOL. It was big fun, and I highly recommend it if it comes to your area! You can walk the 5K, so dont worry about not being a top athlete, and afterwards its a big PARTY!

That looks so fun!! Great picture you guys! Totally digging the multi-colorness. What did they use in the picture pam? It looks like a color smoke bomb. o.o Very pretty though! I wish we have these kinds of events too. (or maybe we do, I just need to get out of my bat cave)

So it's a 5K event and at each 1K they have a "color zone". As you pass through the color zone, volunteers have barrels and barrles of colored cornstarch. So its safe and edible. (People were even running through with their small children in strollers)
The volunteers are scooping out the cornstarch and are gently pouring/tossing it onto you. They are instructed not to AIM for peoples faces. They really do a good job and try to only get your torso.
But the runners are so funny! They WANT color! So they will shout more! more! or some ran to the barrels to scoop more, others laid on the ground and made "snow angels" or just rolled around.
In the group photo, everyone is standing around a stage. On stage they are playing music and really getting the crowd excited. They start to toss out packets of colored cornstarch to people. Hundreds of packets! They do that for 15 minutes...and then start to countdown. 3, 2, 1 --and everyone all at once rips and throws their color packet into the air!
Before we left, we stood in line to have guys with powerful air blowers to get the extra powder off of us. So my car was completely fine for the hour drive home!
The Color Run has a FB page you can "LIKE" to get updates. I know they do it around the USA, I believe they do Canada too so for sure go look!
