Hannah's First 5K!

 Hannah has been showing an increased interest in running.  Now that she takes part in a regular P.E. class she comes home excited about the days they run and race.  I recently heard about a fun run/walk 5K coming to Boise called The Color Run.  It looked like a blast so Hannah and I decided to sign up for it!
 The only rule of the race is that you have to wear a white shirt...  Otherwise all they suggest is that you HAVE FUN and GET COLORFUL!

 Pink was the first color we hit and I don't think Hannah and I were quite prepared for the cloud of color that we were about to enter lol!  As soon as we got through Hannah shouted "Let's run to the next color!"  She was stoked and it was SO much fun to experience her genuine excitement!
 And let me tell you... this girl can run! 
 By yellow and orange Hannah was requesting to roll on the ground like some of the other crazy people there!  Of course I let her, how could I say no!? :)
 John, my Mom, and the girls were waiting for us in the blue section!  They were having so much fun and by the end all of us were blowing blue out of our noses!

 This is one happy color runner!
At registration everyone gets a packet of color and at the finish line they do a countdown when everyone throws their colors up at the same time!  It was SO MUCH FUN!  We didn't take Taylor in because you are literally surrounded by clouds of thick color, but the other three girls were laughing so hard with all of the colorful rain!  We will be back next year and Hannah is already requesting that her sisters run it with us!
