You probably saw on my Instagram, if you don't follow me...shame on you. J/k but really go follow me :), then you saw that I just signed up for this bad boy of a race. And today I am going to share with you why and all about its awesomeness.

There is something about a race that just puts me into drive mode. I love the training, the adrenaline and the feeling you get at the end, you know the one that you just feel freakin amazeballs! 5ks, 10k fun runs they are all fun, but the color run is going to be a BLAST!!! This is no ordinary run, my friends, this is all about getting colorful and having fun.

I love to exercise I always have, but I am also human and a mom and sometimes it is just flat out hard to find the time. But I am working on it. I am still adjusting to two kids and the nap schedules. My sweet Holden is 8 months old and although I have been working out here and there, it is time to get my out of shape bum into gear again. And a race is just the thing to get me going. Once I start training for races I remember how much I really do love to run. The perfect me time, thinking time, and destressing time.

Once I heard about this fun run I knew I had to jump right on board. I have been training here and there for 1/2 marathons but every time I get to about 10 miles I get pregnant and it stops my training. So this my friends is going to be my first step into the 1/2 marathon direction again and this time, by darn, I am going to make that goal. Not to mention after the tragedy at the Boston Marathon I want to run in memory of the runners. I want to run for those who couldn't finish and I know that alone will motivate me.

This race is less about your 10-minute mile or 8 or 6 if you are super fast, and more about just having the time of your life. The color run is a 5k, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer station. But the fun doesn't stop there, no way it continues at the finish line with a gigantic "color Festival," using more colored powder to create happiness and lasting memories. Trust me this is going to be the best post-5k party on the planet yo! I am getting so excited about this just talking about it.

Run by yourself {and make some new friends}, with a spouse, a friend, your whole family, or get a huge freakin awesome group together and have a party while you get fit and feel accomplished, because when you finish I promise you will.

Now if you live in Salt Lake City, I would love for you to come and train with me, be my running partner or we can make a little running group. Why not, but seriously how fun would that be and we can keep each other motivated and be each others support. Email me at wjwiki07@hotmail.com for more info.

The actual race is August 24th in SLC Utah, but, The Color Run team is anticipating that this race is going to sell out quickly so make sure to get on to the registrations super quickly. Also I have a promo code for you to get $5 off the registration FEE! wahoo. Just type in the code: COLORMOMLIFE at checkout. you can register HERE.  Another bonus is if you register as a group you save another $5. Share this code and information on facebook, with your friends and family and lets all make this our goal and have a running party!

I will be there, in my white shirt and ready to be color blasted....will you?
