Blue Eyed Banjo: The Color Run

Before the race -- It was very cold!

Guess what this chick did? A 5K!!
Saturday I completed my first 5k -- The Color Run! It was a blast... literally and figuratively. I had intentions to go and walk, but almost immediately out of the start, I decided to see what I could do. I jogged and walked most of it and finished right at an hour. The race itself made me realize how much I cannot compare myself to others. I signed up, showed up, and finished it. I can't compare myself to the 5'0 & 100lb little girls who are naturally wind resistant (and to be honest, a lot of the hard core runners were some of the grumpiest people there. :/ ) I can only say I tried, pushed myself, and did it! Although, The Color Run itself gives you a lot of incentives... periodically getting blasted with colors like a badge of honor -- happy music blasting -- if exercise were like this all the time, I think we would have a healthier country!
