The Color Me Rad 5k is in Boston on July 27th and I am officially registered! I have not run a race in 6 years.
Eeek!
Check out the race page here, it looks like a lot of fun! You wear white and spectators throw paint on you as you run. By the time you hit the finish line you are multi-colored. Yay!
I have 3 months to get back into running shape. I’m excited to have something to train for!!

That race looks beyond awesome, I wish they did something similar in the UK! I’ve never run a race but I bucked up the courage to sign up for a night 10k organised by Nike in May (who are promising lots of fun surprises, not sure it will surpass paint throwing though 😉 )
Whilst the running has had its ups and downs (literally and metaphorically!), definitely feeling great now that I’m in the full swing of training 🙂 Good luck with yours and keep us updated!
Good for you!! When did you start training for your 10k and how often do you run?
Thank you and good luck with yours as well!
So if I look at my training plan, I’m now towards the end of week 6 to 8. Definitely overtrained at the beginning (we’re talking running about 6 times a week, not fun!) but now I’ve gotten into a much better swing of things – I tend to go alternate days so that I get some rest so it works out to be 3-4 times a week which works well for me 🙂
Awesome! Sounds like you have a good system going. I exercise often but haven’t gone out and run in such a long time.. I’m a little nervous! I hope I can ease back into it well like you! Alternating days definitely seems like a good call. Good way to avoid injury from over-training!
