RADness

CJ and AUD do Color Me Rad 5k, Reno.

If you have never heard of the Color Me Rad 5k, then you need to find out here.

Earlier this summer I found a Color Me Rad Groupon
(Yes, I Groupon like it's nobody's business... Do you think these adventures come cheap?)
Basically, buy one get one free. & if you know me, you know that BOGO's are a weakness.
Of course, I'm not one to pay to run a 5k without it benefitting a really worthy cause...
Color Me Rad 5k Reno will benefit
Special Olympics Nevada
I am so down for that.

Picked up our gear the day before. Sweet shirt, some stunna shades, race bib, & tattooos!
We also bought some extra "color bombs" -- The race came with one, but um, we wanted MORE!

Us at the starting line in our whites joined by 4,000 of our closest friends...

LOVE CJ in those green sunglasses. 

I bet you that 6 years ago (pre-Audrey) CJ would have NEVER been caught wearing those!!

Pre-race photo!

Side note: volunteers were throwing out t-shirts, hats, color bombs, etc. & CJ caught BOTH an extra color bomb and a T-shirt (like the gentleman that he is, he gave both away to kids)

Here's a video of us before the ColorRADness all started:

We were in the second wave, it was packed with people in really fun outfits!

Wish we got a pic with the dudes dressed up like unicorns!

HERE IS HOW IT WAS SET UP:

There was a designated "track" around the UNR campus of which we ran/walked & there were stations throughout the route where volunteers would...

1. color bomb us into oblivion (& yes, CJ tottttally rolled around on the colorful ground -- twice)

2. splash a little wet color onto us (& yes, we cheated & went through twice -- shhh!)

3. water stations

Coming up to the first color bombing site: furfle!

It was like going into a dust storm of purple awesomeness.

**After the 5k I was sneezing colorful snot like it's nobody's business**

Handsome getting color bombed by me! UNR campus is REALLY beautiful, btw.

Video of CJ color bombing me... Little stinker!
