Ohhhh....The Colors

Yesterday was a blast... at THE COLOR RUN

Literally a blast of color!  The girls and I woke up early to participate in The Color Run that was held in the downtown area of Las Vegas. The Color Run is a 5k that is totally about having a fun experience and helping to raise funds for the local 4 Square Food Bank.  Seriously, this run was just plain fun!!!

There were four of us that participated: Me, Nicole, Breanne and Breanne's adorable boyfriend Tyler (who stepped in at the last minute to take Josh's place).  Mom was with us too, but she is our photographer, driver, cheerleader and avid supporter when it comes to things like this!!

Here we are, just arrived and ready to see what we're in for!
We drove downtown and parked.  When we go to the area of where the run was to begin all you could see was a see of white.  To participate, every person was required to wear an all white t-shirt...hence to see the colors once you were blasted with it!

Nicole before the run!

This is the sea of white in front of us, there was more behind us.  We were in the second group to leave the start line...

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

Finally here we go!  Nicole first 5k

PURPLE was INSANE!!!  Nicole got her wish!

This was just too funny, we had to stop to get a picture

Then PINK...this was after the finish line...

Our lil group after the finish line all COLORED!!!

Anyway, the run was a TOTAL blast!  At every kilometer a new color was literally thrown at us.  First yellow, green, purple then finally pink.  What once was clean was now covered from head to toe is a mixture of color!  After crossing the finish line, participants were able to gather together in a festival of color release.  We had little packets of color that we threw into the air at the same time which created a cloud of colors and also causing the thrown colors to land on every person in the crowd, hence getting even more covered with additional color. 

Color fest!!

So much fun...
