I finally did it I went to a color run. I decided to try out the Color Me Rad race. I was so excited. I had everything I was going to wear picked out then. I heard all of these horror stories of the color staying on you for days and weeks. I do not have days or weeks to be covered in color. I need to know what I would have to do to get clean and do it quickly. I had a limited about of time to get it done!
