Color Me RAD!

I signed up to run the Color Me Rad 5K!  I have been wanting to try a race and this one looked like fun.  It was at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds.  We ran around a course, and people pelted us with colored cornstarch.  I tried to talk Derek into running it with me, but when he found out people would be throwing stuff at us and we would get dirty, he wouldn't do it :).  He cheered me on from the sidelines which was extra sweet because he was on call last night and didn't get much sleep.  I have such a nice husband!


About to start the race!


I ran behind a guy in a rainbow speedo the whole time but, sadly, I didn't get a picture of him.


The starting line.  There were so many people there- it was packed!





An explosion of color at the finish line!


 Yay!  I made it!  I had so much fun. I'll have to find some more races to run!

Way to go, Claire! I'm so impressed that you ran a 5k! And you look great, not like you just ran a race.
