Last Saturday, Meg and I ran the Run or Dye 5K at Lutherlyn with one of her work friends. It was definitely not your traditional run, which I was not expecting and although I had fun I'm not sure I want to do it again.
First, EVERYBODY did this run and I mean EVERYBODY. These were not runners. People took strollers into the woods!
Second, it wasn't timed. I was kind of hoping to check my 5K time for my training for the Great Race but it wasn't.
Third, I was sick of people's comments about Lutherlyn. It's a camp people! The trails are in the woods. That's why the trails aren't paved! Think about it.
I had dye everywhere! My toes were purple. My ears were blue. I was blowing pink snot. It took a lot of scrubbing to get clean.
It was worth running or dying just to feel in shape compared to the other runners who were definitely struggling for breath after a half mile. At the marathon, I feel out of shape but here I felt like a fast runner. That was well worth it!
