For Me - THE COLOR RUN™ - The Global 5k Phenomenon!

No, I haven't moved any closer to my goal of being physically capable of completing my obstacle race...

but I have this awful "organizing gene" that FORCES me to organize teams and events and parties and clubs etc.

It's true.

I am compelled to come up with these things, send out mass e-mails to all my friends, create a team and then regret that I ever considered it in the first place.

This is another example:

Lisa - you know this is your fault right?

 I mean, let's be honest here; should the word "Happiest" and "5K" really exist in the same ad? 

Can anyone spot the oxymoron?

Having said that - it does look like a lot of fun...

... and you don't actually have to run,

... and you can bring your kids (which means you can go slower still),

... AND you get covered in paint at each kilometer mark!

Slow and dirty sounds pretty appealing.

(get your minds out of the gutter people!)

So I threw out the invite to "Team WTF?!" under the pretense that it would be good "training for our obstacle race".

Darn it if some of the ladies didn't take me up on the offer!
Now I have to put my money where my mouth is.
I hate when that happens!

Step 1:  Research team names
This isn't actually a necessary step since we have a team name for the other race in September, but it was time spent in front of the computer and not actually physically exerting myself.

I managed to compile a list of team names that I thought were humourous.

(Warning: some of these "push the envelope" a little - so don't let your kids read over your shoulder unless you're willing to explain why they're funny)

 

Have a great one!
