Neon Vibe 5K

Let me preface this by saying…I am not a good runner. I  have never been one to enjoy running and I have never been good at it. I run because I need the cardio exercise and it’s a good/cheap way to burn calories and stay in shape.

I go through phases where I signed up for different 5k races to encourage me to keep running. My husband doesn’t understand the concept of “paying to run” but if I’m financially committed, I will keep running to make sure I can run the entire thing. It may not be fast or pretty but I WILL FINISH!

The Neon Vibe 5k came to Huntsville this past weekend for the first time. I had never done a “fun run” like this one or the Color Run but this one was guaranteed to be fun. Who doesn’t love neon, black lights, dance parties and being blasted with color….I DO! It was fun for runners or walkers and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a fun run. It was nice to just run for fun rather than worry about the time and where you might place…not that I ever place anywhere worth mentioning!

Here are some pictures from the “race”!

My running buddies after the race! We finished in around 35 minutes…not bad for a fun run! There were a lot of walkers so we were proud of our 35 minute jog! These girls definitely made it more enjoyable! Nice sweat stains, huh?!?
