Colour run fun

I might be a little bit late blogging about the colour run but never the less it is worth a post.
I recently ran a colour run with two friends, both of whom I run with separately. 
One of them I enjoy running long distance with, the other I am sort of training.
So we were all of different abilities but it did not matter. It was so much fun. 
I certainly recommend doing a colour run. They may only be 5k which to some is a short distance but it is not about the miles. A colour run is more about the atmosphere and enjoyment of running surrounded by people who also want to get smothered in colour.
Celebrating crossing the line
I have to admit, I did not hang back for the boys I ran on at my own pace. But the pride I felt when my friend crossed the finish line having run the longest distance yet was unbelievable. 
I love that he is starting to run and enjoy himself. 
The sun was shining and everyone was in good spirits, some people walked, some people did two laps some people jogged. There was a huge variety of people all with smiles on their faces and it was uplifting. I had read on many other blogs from marathon runners and serious runners a like that they still do colour runs. Because they are an experience and one that everyone should have a go at.
