5k walk

Now that my health has improved, and my body has changed so much since surgery, it’s been fun to dream and plan about the things I’ll be able to do now that I’m getting in better shape. Fifty pounds ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed about doing a 5K. I’ve only ever done one 5k, and I walked half of it. However, a fun opportunity came up to participate in the Color Me Rad 5k race, and I’m going to do it! And one lucky reader will get to join me in (walking) “5 kilometers of colorful debauchery”.

When Zoloft and balloon animals can’t seem to raise your spirits, the best way to brighten your life is to Color Yourself Rad.

Color Me Rad is coming to a town near you with a tsunami of color. Once you set foot in this holy bath, it will make the blind see, the deaf hear, and the lame walk, run, and jump through 5 kilometers of colorful debauchery.

You’ll start off with a shirt as pure and white as Mother Teresa’s saintly soul and wind up looking like a pack of skittles – just make sure not to “taste the rainbow.” So cast your DYE and get red in the face from Color Me Rad, and not from the embarrassment of passing up on the run of a lifetime.

I’m on the event council for Breathing Space Retreat, a fun and relaxing overnight blogger retreat at Daybreak in May. Color Me Rad has generously offered to be one of the event sponsors, and the race happens one week before the retreat. What a fun way to bond with blogger friends before the event, don’t you think? Although I will be participating in the Utah event on April 28th, the race coupon code is good for any event in the US (see the Color Me Rad website for details).
