Just Coloured


Before and After





Are you as surprised as I am? Surprised by the fact that I not only own running shoes but I, *gasp* actually used them? Me too guys, me too. If you asked me a year ago if I would ever do a 5 kilometer run I would have laughed at the idea. Physical exercise is as foreign to me as heterosexuality  We are at the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. As you can see though, somehow, by some magical force I ended up going. Surrounded by approximately 40,000 other people, I completed my first ever run.*


But don't be fooled because this may seem like your typical sweat dripping, coma inducing run, but in reality, it's so much more than that. There are checkpoints during the run where you get serenaded in coloured powder. Pink. Yellow. Red. Blue. ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW. Who knew exercise could be so much fun?

It was actually heaps of fun and I definitely will be attending the next one. But I wouldn't expect to see me at any real running events any time soon.**


* I didn't really run it. It was more a power walk. Ok it wasn't even that it was a nice leisurely walk. I did absolutely no running.

** I went for a run last night and I gave up after 20 seconds and walked back home. At least I made it out the door right? I'm also currently in bed, half way through a tub of cookies and cream ice cream. Winter is coming, I need to stock up on my fuel supply.

    OMG can't believe how red/orange you are! I noticed that after the first station everyone was all orange - whoever it is that was in charge of the orange pain went nuts!

    I did the Color Run last year in Melbourne, and it was so much fun! Glad you had an enjoyable time. I don't think we ran much of it either, but the colour stops were definitely the absolute bonus! x
