A few months ago, my friend Brit asked if I would be willing to do the Color Run with her. Now if you know me, you know I cannot run and I normally don't enjoy it. But I decided to suck it up and do it. How hard could a 5k be? It's only 3 miles. The last time I tried to run, I pulled a muscle in my ankle. Yes, I know, extremely embarrassing. This time around, I wanted to really give this running thing a legit shot. So I download the app called Couch to 5K. This app helps you get from being a lazy couch bum to running an entire 5k. It starts off with walking then running intervals which slowly turns into just running. As the weeks went on, I started to really enjoy running. I actually looked forward to my daily running workouts. Weird! Then the day we had been waiting for arrived. I woke up that morning to a complete downpour. I mean intense rain! Brit and I decided to tough it out and just go to the run anyways. We started driving towards San Francisco. As we made our way, the rain stopped and instead it was completely sunning. We were so shocked, but also excited. We got our shirts and other fun goodies like tattoos. Then we lined up for this race. I was a little bit nervous about running three whole miles, but knew this was going to be an experience either way! Who would have thought that I would enjoy running and having color thrown at you is ridiculously fun! I had such a blast throughout the entire run! We ran through At&t park, down the Piers and then back through AT&T park. It turned out to be such a beautiful day.
You also get a medal for completing the race! Let's be real, everyone likes getting a medal! Overall, I would HIGHLY reccomend doing this! It is a very easy run, you can dress up and I guarantee you will be non-stop laughing the whole time!
