Color Me Memphis

Ten Feet Off Beale - Color Me Memphis

It happened. We did it. The Color Run!!!!!
and it was so much fun.

After months and months of hardcore (sorta) running in preparation for that day.. it finally came.
I flew home from Florida just for this event and boy, was it awesome.

We actually ran through majority of it! There were parts that we were forced to walk because of all the people butttttttt I couldn't believe how good I felt at the end! I could have kept running and I am already on the lookout for my next 5K (any suggestions????)
 

There were a TON of people there -- there were actually a ton of people there that I knew .. but I didn't see ANY of them!!! So crazy!!!

I especially loved that we were running through midtown Memphis -- there was so much stuff to see andddd we were getting paint thrown at us.. umm what more could you want?
 
 
I feel like you can't tell from my pictures but I was covered!!!! I had paint everywhere.. somehow it even got on my feet... which were in socks.. in sneakers! What?!
 
 
Have any of you done the Color Run orrrr are you planning on doing it soon??

    We didn't get to do a color run, but we did get to do a zombie dash. That was really fun. :)

  6. I wanted to do it when it came to Austin a few months ago, but I didn't make it. I also heard some people were disappointed with the amount of paint that was used(too little). But it looked like you got showered in color. Fun times!

  7. I did this!! Well, the Color Me Rad version. It was so much fun. Ours was through a huge park. It was amazing. I can't wait to do it again. Thanks for sharing. It was fun seeing your pictures. :)

  8. All my friends did it. Sads, I had to miss because of my little guys soccer game. It's so crazy how this has spread like wild fire all over the world. I wish it went to a better cause. Not that the cause isn't good, I've just read that not much in proceeds is donated.

  10. I love that first picture! Congrats, I've been wanting to try a 5K, but not sure if I'd make it haha. Especially since I'm SO out of running shape after being forced to take a few months off.

  11. I'm always so jealous when friends run the color run! It came to my city recently but I'd already committed to another run. I have heard that you can't actually run the whole run usually, but it's great that you could have kept going! I'm not from near you, but I'd check out if there's any fun halloweeny runs going on! :) Stopping by from Mingle Monday!

  14. I was also one of the thousands of color runners in Memphis! What a small world. I would love to follow them around the country and race every weekend. Definitely a highlight of the semester for me.
