+ THE COLOR RUN!
Happy Thursday, folks! My new Asics came in the mail this week, and I absolutely love them. I trained for and ran my first half marathon in Asics, and a few more, and then veered off course with Brooks and Mizunos—learning all too well that Asics are (for now) the only running shoes for me.
What will I do with my old, beat-up Asics, you ask? I’ll add a little life to them on August 27th at The Color Run Tropicolor Denver!
Aren’t they adorable? It’s like walking on clouds. So much support for my high arches!
Ready to go!
MY FIRST 5K
I’ll definitely be documenting this fun, colorful 5k because I’ve never run a 5k before, and I’ve never run anything like this, so stay tuned! I won’t go for a time goal, since the aim of the race is to just be silly and get messy.
The Real Life 
Nice kicks! #gocowboys

These look great! I’m considering Asics now that my Nike’s are slowly running out (no pun intended). I’ve never done a color run but I want to do it so bad!

It’s so important to find a shoe that fits your foot! It makes ordering online successful too. Good luck on your 5K!

I know… I am always nervous ordering clothing/shoes online, but I felt super-confident with this purchase. 🙂 Thanks so much!

Ooh, they’re nice! I haven’t tried Asics, although I’d like to.
I’ve done 2 colour runs, both this year. I preferred the first one I did – so much fun!

Did the color wash out of your clothes? Trying to decide what to wear. 🙂

For the first one, yes. Those were neon colours and I put my things in the wash straight away, all came out fine.
For the second one the colours were a lot darker and it took two washes before my t-shirt was mostly clean. It still has a few stains though, around the collar, underarms and stitching.

Interesting. Thanks! I wish I could wear my new shoes but I don’t want to get them any more colorful than they already are. 🙂

I’m always sad to get new running shoes dirty! I wore my trail shoes for the colour runs, since I didn’t have an old pair and they’re always muddy anyway.

Love the colors of your new shoes!! I’m a Brooks girl through and through. I recently switch to Saucony and was so disappointed in how they handled and held up that I immediately switched back to what I know and love.
I’ve never done a color run, but I did do a mud run, which was brutal!! You don’t think ahead on how scraped up your body will get crawling in mud which is infested with rocks and sand! But it was still a fun experience!

Oh man! That is something I’ve yet to try, as well!
