Runnin' Just As Fast As We Can

Over the summer, I had signed Kade and the older girls up for the Color Run (a 5K) here in San Antonio.  I have declared myself as a Non-Runner, so I didn't think too much about it.

Until I went to pick up all their stuff.  

I'll put this out there right now…I am not a runner.  My body does not like to run.  It's not opposed to exercise or workouts…those are great, but running?  Nuh uh. 

Anywho, when I got to the store to pick up everyone's packets, all the pictures and pretty colors and fun looking things kinda made me want to join in on the fun.  So I signed myself up, too!

All ready to get our run on:




Some pretty clouds showed up... 


And dumped rain on us for about 20-30 minutes. They had to deflate the finish line so it wouldn't blow away.  I had wondered off with Ailee when the rain hit.  Luckily we were right next to a sponsor's canopy, so we went in to learn a little more about their product.  
The rain finally let up and we were "HAPPY" to get started.

I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous to get from Point A to Point B without dying.

Kade and Maryn ran ahead, while Ailee was my running buddy.  We had a lot of fun together! We made sure to stop at every color and get a squirt of paint in her hair.  Ailee came out pretty colorful! 


I think the red stuck to her scalp for several days. 

Kade and I got our fair share of color, too!


 Our fellow running buddies, Jen and Jace managed to photo bomb our selfie.


 

We are a colorful family!


We found lots of friends there, too. That was some good, colorful fun!

Let's do one together! The two Roundy families. Let's find one in the spring some where close to you or me or somewhere in-between. It would be fun! My kids would love it. :-)
