I typically go in phases where I stop running completely for weeks \/ months at a time (winter) and then kick it back up to 5 days a week in the summer. I expected it to be tough to start running again, like it is every year. But I didn&#8217;t expect it to feel nearly impossible! Lucky for me, my good friend Jenny had invited me to do The Color Run with her back when I thought I&#8217;d be a running fool this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2576\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9291_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2576\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2576\" alt=\"Here I spotted Bill in the crowd - hence my goofy face!\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9291_2-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9291_2-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9291_2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here I spotted Bill in the crowd &#8211; hence my goofy face!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2577\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9309_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2577\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2577\" alt=\"Bill was there at the finish line to catch me moving through. \" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9309_2-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9309_2-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2013\/07\/IMG_9309_2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bill was there at the finish line to catch me moving through.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The farthest I&#8217;d run before the &#8220;race&#8221; was 3 miles, and I&#8217;d only done that once.

It&#8217;s not a timed race, and everyone is there to have a good time. By the end you&#8217;re plastered in color. And best of all I got to visit with a friend I see too rarely.
