Color Me Rad Calgary

At the beginning of August I did the Color Me Rad race in Calgary with Ashley and her sister in law Robyn.  I was so not prepared and the stupid summer cold didn't help my lungs any but it was such a great experience all the same.  It is pretty crazy in the way that there is no organization at all, you just started the race whenever you wanted (it was not a timed event).  You start running and then you come up to these stations where volunteers pummel you in the face and elsewhere with coloured cornstarch.  Let me tell you that stuff does not taste good and it is hard on the lungs. There were too many of these stations to count and some of them had coloured water to spray at you (which felt nice as it was pretty hot out).  at the end of the race they give you colour bomb packets to throw at each other, which we willingly did.  We were super covered and it was great. 

I was a little nervous about leaving Jaida with Travis, especially at nap time, well she slept through the entire thing even the blaring loud music and bass.

All in all it was an amazing time and we have plans to do it again next year but with the hubbies as well.
