This July, during our weekend vacation to Minneapolis, we included plans to participate in this run.
I started training in March, as I am/was not a runner.
Running went well. I had run 2 previous 5k's already this summer, so wasn't too worried about the running.
Dana and I went to pick up packets the day before. Wow - what a lot of people.
We woke up early to get to the Minnesota/St.Paul Fairgrounds - the location for the run.
We were signed up to run in the 8:00 time slot. We found out at packet pick up that they would sent 1000 runners through the start every 5 minutes. Wow!
Here is our group of gals - all nice and white before the start of the run.
A packet of color to throw at the end.
Look at all those people - we were in wave 2!
Getting a little colorful!
We did it - look at all that color! So much fun!
Our group all colorful!
What a fun experience! It was so much fun! I am glad I decided to give this adventure a try! It was fun to train (yup - you read that right - fun!) and I am still running!
