Color Vibe Run
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Who knew that a run could be so FUN?
Saturday morning Cyn and I joined crazy girls, Heather, Jen, Jodi, and Mel in running the Color Vibe in Ogden.
Those four girls are CRAZY! Since this was a fun run, they decided to dress up in white tutus and wear blonde wigs.
Here we are, all clean and white! |
The back drop of the race was beautiful with the mountains covered in the stunning colors of the autumn leaves.
We were told that white was the best color to wear to show the color. Along the course there wear four color stations.
As we ran through the color stations, volunteers threw colored powder at us, literally covering us with color!
The course took us around the campus of Weber State University. There were no flat areas, we were either going up or down hills the entire time. The four ballerinas took off running, of course, but Cyn and I took our time, pretty much walking most of the way - perfect for me because I am so out of shape right now.
The REAL fun began after the run. Everyone gathered at the finish line and danced! There was a DJ playing fun, loud music and you couldn't stop yourself from "getting down and funky"!
The ballerina girls - perhaps because they were incognito in their blonde wigs, but more likely because they are just plain crazy - really let loose and got wild! Heather has some dance moves that could make her a Dancing with the Stars candidate!
As we were dancing, colored powder was flying! We truly were covered in color!
The music had a jumping - literally for joy! It was SO FUN!
After we were exhausted from all of the dancing, we, of course, had to replenish all of the calories we had burned, so we headed to Jeremiah's for breakfast. By the stares and funny looks we got, we must have looked pretty amazing!
It was so funny! During our 1/2 hour wait to be seated, the ballerinas all took the same pose, noses buried in their cell phones, exchanging pictures and posting on facebook.
Breakfast was amazing! This was my first time at Jeremiah's, but it definitely will not be my last.
How blessed I feel to be able to have this much fun with such wonderful and crazy friends! This will be a day that will ever be one of my fondest memories!
Just for the record, the color all came off in the shower!
