Color Running

 A while ago on Pinterest I found a 5K called the Color Run. IMMEDIATELY I zipped over to the website and giggled over how fun it looked. With a resolve to register myself and my closest 50 friends and their children I attempted to do so only to find out it had sold out ARGH! I added their site to my safari top sites so that I could stalk it in the hopes that more spots would open up. A girlfriend of mine, Mrs. Webb of the Webb Site, found the Color Run Facebook page and it was thanks to that, we had first heads as to when more spots would become available. THANK GOODNESS because this completely "for FUN" run was a total blast!

I signed us all up (EVEN JT!) and we were looking forward to it for a month. Even in all the house hullaballooness. Yes, I make up words sometimes. JT had done shorter runs but this would be his first 5k. The night before, Mr. B was still at work and knew he wouldn't be able to make it home in time for the run the next day.  My good friend B&G's momma, had gotten her registration but spots had sold out when she went to register her daughter (BECAUSE THE RACE IS TOTALLY COOL!). Since we had the extra bib number, it worked out that JT could run with his pal too! Put that together with the two other First Grade Fellow Charter School Friends, Ms. A and Ms. K, we totally represented the Eaglets out there!
-side note: in all seriousness I contemplated just rolling with an acronym for that. FGFCSH... oh goodness.


How awesome to be out there with our kids getting our colorful exercise on?! I was glad to give my kiddos and opportunity to get crazy filthy in a controlled environment, haha, ever my faux-c-d. They were scrubbed completely the second we got home though. This was a fantastic use of a cloudy day! Woot!

A little color action for JT as we wait at the starting line for our wave to start!

1st Grade represents!

Hea Bug Represents too!

So Cal Color Run 2012!
