Today was SO much fun!
I completed my second ever 5k with one of my closest friends.
Color Me Rad is a 5k race that is meant for friends, family, and fun! Everyone was dressed up in their Rad Gear, and covered head to toe with colored chalk. It is amazing to see the so many people getting together to engage in fun, healthy activities. Once you enter the event area, it’s like your whole mind set changes. You are filled with happiness and determination to get this race done, no matter what. Today I ran this 5k with one of my closest friends, and we continuously encouraged one another to keep on moving. Even when we had only gotten a few hundred feet away from the starting line, she was there to give me a high five and push on. I am so grateful to have the support that I have!
I wasn’t running this race to see how fast I could get it over with, or to make myself have better time than the others. I ran this race for myself. I ran because I wanted to show myself that I was capable of working hard and being a great example for others. By the time my friend and I had gotten to the finish line, we were covered with colored chalk and colored slime (a new addition to this race). We felt better than ever! And honestly, I did not want to shower all of the chalk off afterwards because I felt like it showed everyone I accomplished something great!
Get out, and do rad stuff!
One Life. One Body.
