Awhile ago I was at lower campus running an errand when I came across a flyer for the 1st Annual Color Run in Pocatello. I've heard about them and I've seen people run them and it seriously sparked my interest. I ask Hilairy (BFF) and Sadie (SIL) if they would be interested in running it with me and of course they were both in!
We had such a blast running it. Mind you, the most strenuous thing I've done in ages is give birth. I had zero training before I ran this on Saturday - I even got up Saturday morning around 6 a.m. and started stretching just because I was afraid I'd pull something... HA! I worried I wouldn't make it out alive! Surprisingly, I (WE) did really really well. It made me more aware that my respiratory fitness is not where it needs to be for a twenty something year old female. My body held up pretty dang well and I'm super excited about it. [Side note: I couldn't hardly move on Saturday and even today, Monday, I'm having a helluva time going up and down stairs!]
Years and years ago, probably 3-4 now, I ran a lot. And I mean, a lot. I loved it. Some things happened and I just stopped. Doing this color run made me realize how much I missed it. I really think I'm going to get back into it. I'm kind of excited about it actually!
Hilairy, Sadie and myself vowed that this will be a tradition, and hopefully we'll add on more people to our Prima Donna team next next year!
