13 August 2013 – Summer Break Summer Time Family Time

It’s been quite a busy summer! Since the racing season has been on a bit of a hiatus due to the heat of summer, I decided to take some time off and visit my family back east. While I was there I participated in a 5K marathon called The Color Run with my friends and family. This is an event that tours the country, and it’s famous for the participants ending the race covered in all kinds of color patterns on their clothes and skin. The race takes place in the hot weather, and you get sprayed with water and then covered with colored powder. After jogging most of the 5K, I was happy to go across the finish line. After finishing the race, there is a huge stage with performers and music for the crowd to be entertained and celebrate their accomplishment. It was a very fun day and I recommend doing it for everyone!
