Colour me happy

 Rainbow run, Prospect Park. An event similar to the ever entertaining 'Color Run' only with two added benefits. This event was right on my doorstep and even closer to that of the love of my life who was present for our first joint Purple book event. In Danielle I have found a kindred spirit; a true lover of variety whether it's teas to drink, places to visit or things to have a go at. True to form many of the Prospect crew showed initial interest in having a go at the event with only two brave souls actually taking part. GT showed up with her sister and 'rents and Elizabeth joined me and Dani in her usual baffling style, being the only runner not wearing either a white top or her racing number (always bloody awkward that one! ;)). Although the race was only 3km it felt a lot harder than usual due to the heat and the fact the paint stations weren't spaced out as well as we'd hoped with plenty early on and bugger all after that. As usual, people at the various stations chucked it over us as we went through. Although smelling nicer than the Color run stuff it proved harder to get off in the end, took a while for that shower water to run clear! It was great to see Sarah and Buns at the end, me and Dan crossed the line holding hands which should have earned us a photo I reckon but hey ho ;) Another cool medal to add to the collection as well, pretty damn good for the event's first time in Reading.

Here's to plenty more events like this with my new partner in crime.
