Since I will hopefully be a runner, soon:

[amellis2]

Does anyone want to do the 5k color run on 12/15? You wear a white shirt, and they throw colored/flavored chalk (Basically, Willy Wonka Dip-a-stick) at you. You look like an acid trip when you're done.

Have fun!

(I can't get into the color runs or the mud runs, so no, not interested.)

[kimandross]

I'm already signed up for it actually. See you there!

[amellis2]

I'm going to start C25K soon, so I'm excited for this to be a fun way to get into running.
I don't think I'd be able to do a mud run, either, Moon. I'm not big on getting dirty. I know I'll get "dirty" in the color run, but, uh, at least it'll be pretty dirty instead of germy dirty. Blech.

Depends where it is at. Check out this recap. She seems to have gotten pretty germy dirty.

ETA: Okay, checked out the link you posted above and your run looks more urban, so I doubt you'll be swimming through a river and trekking thru mudd.

[amellis2]

Oh. Oh dear. I am not brave enough (or fit enough) to do something like that.

I've been thinking about it. My cousin is coming from Jacksonville to run it w/her BFF.

I'm trying to get a friend of mine from the east coast to run it with me. She just became vegan in February, so I think it would be fun for us to do together.

Should I register before or after the race map is up? Or wait a little? The website says that the race fills up fast...

Sign up now! Then you have something to work towards.

And...
What does her being a vegan have to do with things? ;D

Uh, just that we are awesome and are looking for was to be extra healthy. I'm sure you have NO idea what we're talking about, though ;D

I was just talking to my friend about this yesterday at The Run for the Fallen. I'm pretty sure we are going to do it. We are also considering the Run For Your Lives runforyourlives.com/orlando-overview/. I would really like to try an obstacle race, my biggest issue is my weak ass arms :-(

This looks so fun! Wish I was going to be down for it.

[aidensmom]

I will do it with you!! I'm not very fast so we can stay together! Lol

My brother wants to run it with me, too! I just need one more person.

[melis74]

I registered today! I actually started a group because four of my friends are going to do it too. If you didn't get four people you can always sign up under mine for the $5 discount if you want. Can't wait!

I just saw today that there will be a glow run in St Pete, date TBA. I will definitely be doing that one as well: glowrun5k.com/stp.php

[amellis2]

Thanks!
That looks fun, too. Plus, do you need to say beer garden more than once?

[secretlyevil]

A local board here? So awesome! Already signed up, really looking forward to it.
