I actually registered for two different 5k races today. One is this Sunday and it looks pretty normal, but the second one is "Color Vibe" ... it's a "race" that's more fun than competitive. While you're running the race, people will pelt you with little packets of color. Everyone comes out looking like a tye-dye experiment gone horribly wrong. A bunch of FWSW folks are unofficially entering together, and you're welcome to join us (http://www.thecolorvibe.com/). My whole family, including my wife and two sons, are going to do this with me.
Here's the crazy thing: two months ago I would have never signed up for a 5k, even a fun one like this. A 5k anything just sounded wrong (to a computer geek like myself it needed to be a distance that was a power of two ... jus' sayin'.) Now, not only am I doing this, but my whole family and a bunch of friends are doing it as well. Those who know me know that me doing this kind of thing is (was) completely out of character. FWSW promised that there would be more changes than just a diet or exercise, and it's true. That I'm looking forward to these events is not the old me.
