Run or Dye

Goofy 5K runs have become a Thing.  There are zombie runs, mud runs, obstacle courses, night runs and color runs.  The latest of those to come to town was Run or Dye and it was going down at UCSB.

RightScale has a little fitness club called RightFit and this sort if thing is right up our alley.  We got some white tank tops printed out and got ready for some fun.

Looking nice and clean
The run itself went okay: lots of dye everywhere, people goofing off and having fun.  Even a 5K fun run made me a little nervous for the broken ankle but it didn't bug me too much and I was running with a group at a nice and easy pace.

The end result was of course colorful.  I tried to focus on the green as much as possible since I'm on the Green team at RightScale, but there's only so much focusing that was to be done.

Good times
If one of these things comes to your area, get out there and do it.  You're not going to PR - heck, they don't even time the race.  There'll be a billion people and a bunch will be walking or goofing off in the dye stations or whatever.  It's not about the speed, it's about goofing off on a Saturday morning with some friends and then going back home and destroying your shower/bathroom/bedroom/everything you own.

Not a bad adventure.
