The Color Run...

I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to do this!!!

Unfortunately, I think Chicago is closed and that's the closest, most realistic place to go for it.

    HOLY CRAP! EVEN BETTER!! I'm totally signing up for this. I don't even care about my time for this... Yay! Thank you so much Milsey!!!

    Anyone want to do it with me???  I probably won't be able to run the entire thing and will walk some. Plus I run slow!

  • Darn it! Dh will be in Cleveland that weekend hosting a Bachelor Party.  I wonder if I can get him to come home early enough for me to go to the race.

    I'd love to do either!  Too bad the Chicago one is full and the MSU one is on a bad day for me.

    I was never a runner? or really had any desires to run. But now that I?m trying to exercise and get better eating habits, I?m curious about this, when in a 5K is it pretty fast paced sprinting the whole time or more of a casual jog? Would a 5k be intimidating for a first time runner?

    A 5K, or 3.1 miles, race is dependent on the actual race and participants. 

    For example, Spartan Splatter, The Color Run, or The Warrior Dash are all fun races. Sure, there are the people that want to be the fastest but the common opinion is to just have a good time (expressed with a jog/walk vs. a sprint).

    If you're looking for a first time 5K I would suggest a fun run - however, the down fall of running The Warrior Dash (or something similar) is that it's so awesome, "boring" 5Ks will rarely make it on your To-Do list.

  • My experience with 5ks- and this is coming from a person who is relatively new to them- ran my first last year- is that they range from fast runners to a lot of walker/joggers. I would say sign up for one and just go into it saying you want to do your best. You'll find there are many slower runners and some walkers in the bunch.
