I'm hoping to sign up for The Color Run this year,and can't wait! I will have till June to prepare...so I am hoping by then I will be able to run even part of it.I like that it's a run or walk kind of thing,so while I want to push myself,I wont feel defeated if I end up walking most of it.
There is also a Foam Fest(5k with obstacles,mud and soap suds) near Chicago that looks like a blast.I'd love to do both,but not working and both races having to be paid soon,I have to choose.Maybe next year on the Foam Fest
