Some girls in my ward and I decided that it would be fun to do this Color Me Rad 5K in Orem. Then we figured we may as well make a weekend out of it! We all got together and headed out to Kneaders for dinner. Once we got in the car to head to the movie, we realized we hadn't taken any pictures, so we took some in the car.

Then it was off to see "The Lucky One". We figured it was a safe bet that our husbands wouldn't be sad to miss this one!
Then Lyndsey had to call it a night, and Julia joined us and we headed off to the hotel in Orem so that we wouldn't have to get up too early to drive out there. It was perfect. Right across the street from the start/finish lines. Here we are getting ready to go to bed at about 3:00am.

The next morning we got up and got ready for the race. The hotel had breakfast, so we ate and then headed out.
 |
| This is our shoes before the race. It would be a cooler picture if we had remembered to get an "after"! |
 |
| All of our crisp white shirts! I hurried and put on my long sleeved shirt as soon as I went outside and realized it was 40 degrees! |
 |
| The girls were pretty worried about their hair getting dyed. |
 |
| Here we are at the start line. |
 |
| Stretching! |
 |
| They gave everyone a color packet to throw whenever you wanted. We opened one before the race started and gave ourselves some war paint! |
 |
| Trying to be gentle I guess |
 |
| Someone from Park City TV came and interviewed me before the race started! |
At each color station there were several people with buckets of colored corn starch throwing fistfuls at everyone who went by. The race info had talked about that, so we were expecting that. What we weren't expecting was the liquid sprayers they'd be spraying us with! It was so fun!
 |
| Here we are after the first color station! | |
 |
| And the 2nd |
 |
| Entering the 3rd! |
 |
| I love how everyone puts their arms up! |

| At the finish line! We made it! |

| Julia's shirt was completely white when we started! |

| Walking back to the hotel |
 |
| After we got a little cleaned up. We're all sporting our Color Me Rad shirts and glasses that we got for registering. |
I had such a fun weekend with these cute girls, and can't wait to do it again!
