a colorful event

tomorrow i'm participating in the color run with a few friends and my mom. i can't WAIT!!

i got my white shirt, white socks and white wristbands ... for what? my sweaty wrists? nope.

i did the dirty girl mud run last summer and i taped saran wrap around my arm to cover my dexcom sensor. it kept the mud out, but there was so much condensation it made the sensor lose sticky.

saran wrap = dexcom cover

so tomorrow i'm going to try something more breathable - enter sweatbands. i hope it works, i'll let ya know.

i'm also taking a plastic baggie to put my dexcom in so it doesn't become a rainbow (even though that would be really fun).

let the countdown begin!

  2. If you value something make certain it is covered with plastic or saran wrap! The color made it through EVERY layer of clothing I had on... I was very... colorful... Even my phone, which was tucked in my bra came out blue!

  3. I did the Color Run with Martin Wood (@woodonwheels) a few months ago. Yes I was COMPLETELY covered in color by the end. However it is just cornstarch - so if you can manage not to get it wet (the cornstarch that is) it does wipe off easily. I washed my clothes that night and was SHOCKED when they came out perfectly white!!!

  4. I read that as 'the Hippiest' 5K before clicking on the picture to embiggen it. I'm sticking by what I originally read.
