Color Run Fail

I was supposed to walk the Color Run in Columbus this morning with a friend.  The key words here being supposed to.  Ohio weather has a way of changing on you at the last moment but Ohio sure fooled me.  With a 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms, I was sure we would get to the start location and find out they were cancelling the event.  I made the decision to not go.  As I climbed back into bed, a storm came through.  Hard rains and thunder.  I was certain I had made the right choice.  As it turns out, my friend sent me a picture later that morning that the rain stopped 15 minutes into the start of the race.  The event had gone on and it appears she had a great time.  Now I just feel silly for not going; for at least not taking the chance.  Fortunately, my money will not go to waste.  I already had my race packet with shirt, bib, and sweatband.  I contacted the support team for the run and they told me if I pay minimal shipping cost, they will send me the medal.  I feel much better now.  This at least means I can still earn the medal even though I missed out on the fun of being at the event.  Next year.  I promise regardless of the weather outlook, I'll take the chance.
