This past weekend, I ran the Color Run in San Jose. While it was fun, it wasn't my favorite race. It was poorly organized and the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds was the least scenic place I've ever run. If I do this run again, I'll want to do it in San Francisco for sure. Still, it was a nice break from the routine and it was great to get together with the girls!
I'm still trying to figure out what it is about the race that I didn't quite like and I think it's that it felt so synthetic. I felt like it was missing spontaneity and originality that I associate with a color festival. Maybe that's it? Or maybe it's because we had to rush home so Conor to get to work on a Saturday for his fourth day of endless work in a row. Who knows! Either way, I'd do it again (ideally in San Francisco) because at the end of the day, it was fun to run with the girls! (And PS: there were more of us, but needing to rush home, I only caught photos of the first four of us that finished)
