Color Run 2013 and first running post!

Color Run 2013

I started jogging about a month ago and decided that I want to be a runner.
I follow a few "running" blogs that have been an inspiration to me.
Today I decided to start my own blog where I can write about my runs 
and be able to look back at my progress. So here it goes....

Today my two oldest kids, Megan and Tyler, did the Color Run with me.
About 3/4 of the way through the kids started getting tired and asked
if we could just go to the car and go home. 
We walked a lot more than we ran so I knew they would be ok to keep going.
I had them finish the race with me and I think they had a lot of fun 
getting all the extra color on them after the finish line!

The Color Run was a lot of fun and I am glad we made this memory together!

I loved the set up of this run. It was on some paved areas and also on some trails.
This afternoon I looked up other 5ks in my area and saw that there is another
race on October 26th at this same location so I decided to register for it.

My goal for this next 5k is to be able to run it without any walk breaks.



 Waiting for the race to start!

 Megan and Mom. 

Tyler and Megan loved all the color. 
This was at the start of the race, waiting for our wave of runners to go.

 At the finish and in Tyler's words... Pinkified!

 After we finished the race the kids and I went into the crowd
that was throwing color. Megan took this picture of me when we came out!

My shoes after the run!
