    Last Saturday I completed a 5k with several of my cousins as well as a couple of my Aunts! What a fun day and so awesome we can all do something so active together! Have you ever done a color run? This was my 4th Color Run and my 8th 5k. I enjoy these fun runs so much. This was not a timed race but that’s okay the point of these races are to get out exercises, have fun and raise money for charity. Saturday was a beautiful spring day in Colorado. The weather was just perfect. Below are several pictures from our 5k on Saturday as well as some tricks…
