Just this week the Color Run released a video with a compilation of various runs done throughout the year as a thank you to all the Color Runners! As I've blogged about previously I've done 2 Color Runs this year: my first ever in Boston and another in Montreal. It really was a blast and after watching this video I remember just how fun it was and I couldn't help but share. I can't WAIT to do at least one more in the coming year.
I should also say, I am a bit disappointed I wasn't at the same race as the unicorn... :)

The Color Run - Montreal
I did it again! This past weekend I ran another Colour Run race. It was held in Montreal this time, which was their first time holding one in Canada. Once again I couldn't have been happier with the organization of the race and the overall atmosphere - it was a blast!
I went with a different friend this time, and just like my first time, she was blown away and can't wait to do her next one! I'm definitely looking forward to my next one too... but maybe warmer weather! It was a bright sunny day but super chilly.

The Happiest 5K on the Planet!
Last weekend a girlfriend and I went to Boston to cross something off our bucket list: run a race.
I've always wanted to run a race and have just never taken the plunge. I'm a fairly new runner to begin with, if you can even call me a runner. I love it although hard on my body (mainly my ankles). For me the secret to running is getting in the habit of doing it, like most people I'm sure. Anyway, having a race date looming in the distance can certainly help keep you motivated!
When we went to sign up for the Ottawa Race Weekend 5K it was sold out. After browsing different races, whether in our city or others, I found The Color Run. It's a 5K race that involves wearing white and getting colour tossed at you every kilometer or so that you run! Um, who wouldn't want to do that?! They also call it "The Happiest 5K on the Planet" - sounds like a good first race to me! The event was in Boston, which seems to be a city I am drawn to because I love it, and it was the best time. The run itself was so well organized and just a blast. At the end of the race there is a "festival" with beer, food, games, a DJ, and much much more! I highly recommend it.
After looking into the race and then seeing our pictures so many people want to run it now! I think our next Color Run will bring out some newbies. Because we WILL do this again and I can't wait!
