When I first heard about The ColorRun back in April, I knew I had to do it. I have never been a huge fan of running (or anything cardio-related, for that matter) There's something about the sound and feel of my feet slapping against concrete/grass/treadmill which makes me stir-crazy. And yet, after hearing the the 'Happiest 5k On the Planet' boasts 60% of runners who have NEVER attempted 5k before, I felt like perhaps this was the run for me.
So my sister and I coughed up £25 for entry into the event (a share of which goes to Stand Up To Cancer... it's all about the charidee, man!) before donning our bright-white ColorRun t-shirts and pulling on our sneakers. We were ready.
