color me rad 5k (plus a discount code for you)

July 29, 2013      9 Comments

Since I started running in February, I have been stepping out of my comfort zone on the regular.

First it was actual running. Then it was registering for races and putting myself in an unknown situation, in public, surrounded by strangers. I mean, this is the stuff of nightmares. However, it’s been good for me to push and to keep flirting with my boundaries.

Which is why, when I was offered the opportunity to run in our local Color Me Rad 5K, I decided to go for it.

Even though the idea of being covered in vivid corn starch makes me a little nervous, I have really wanted to participate in a color run. I have some friends who will probably come with me, and little man wants to join me, so it promises to be a really fun and exciting time. This is an untimed race, so I plan to take my time and really soak up the experience. I only hope the colors are as brilliant as the ones pictured above.

Runs like the Color Me Rad 5K are great for the sense of community. I love the idea of teams and groups of friends and families, getting out and getting active together, with an element of fun and spontaneity. It’s not a traditional event, in the sense of rigorous training and vying for a PR, but it is a healthy and enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning.

Are you a color run veteran who can’t wait to participate in your next brilliant race? Have you always wanted to give one a try? Now’s your chance.

From Monday, July 29 through Wednesday, July 31, if you register for ANY Color Me Rad 5K location, enter the code “radfun” and you will receive 20% off your registration fee. There are more than 50 race opportunities remaining in 2013, so don’t miss out!

Questions about the Color Me Rad 5K, like what to wear 0r what the color is made of? Check here for answers.

You can also follow Color Me Rad on Facebook and Twitter, to keep up with the latest, colorful happenings.

I’m ready to have some fun with this! How about you?

 

I received a complimentary registration for my local Color Me Rad 5K in exchange for sharing my race experience on www.runswithpugs.com. All opinions are my own.

      Awesome! Little man said he wanted to do it, but he will definitely be in if B does it too. I was thinking about letting him “run” in swim goggles. He might think that’s cool.

    Uh oh. But what if I instead prefer the fancy artificial colored icing that goes on top of a slice of cake? Surely I am DOOMED!

      I’m doing it more and more! I don’t know that I’ll ever be up to a mud run, though. That might be just one step too far 🙂

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
