What's with all the color runs? (Read 182 times)

    I blame Facebook its always that sponsored post on my phone ughhh.  Why can't I get a sponsored post about a cool triathlon or dualthon oh yea because the makeres of those events aren't pushing them on us and paying for sponsored posts.

     

    If a kid asked me to do it I'd likely do it but are these events even being marketed as kid events?   I could have done one for free last November as a lady at work got anyone who wanted to do it sponsored through work.     I passed and did a triathlon instead.  She told me that everyone just walked it anyways.  I don't see any of those 20 coworkers running or walking still so how did it get them off the couch.

     

    I biked to work today like I do most weekdays even though I had my half ironman on Saturday and had a coworker ask me man your still biking to work.  Like that was it I had done my ironman and now I could just be done.  I asked them if I looked like the kind of person who had a basement full of treadmills and exercise bikes.

            That had to suck. I hate it when all the people I work with don't understand all the details of my hobbies. Non runners are stupid and fat, amirite?

              Which brings to mind getting slapped where it smarts and cartwheeling down the trail...

                      I think we should also keep in mind that as time goes by, we will all definitely get older, probably get weirder, and also probably get fatter.

                              I only learned of this word recently.  In L&O.  From Goo.

                               

                              I have no interest in color runs, electric runs, mud runs, etc, but whatever gets people active and moving.  Two of my friends from college do these types of events, and they love them.
