This is a sponsored post for Shout. While I received compensation for my post, all opinions, beliefs, and writing remain my own.
It's been almost 2 weeks since myself and my team participated in The Color Run. With sponsor Shout® and their emphasis on having fun, I was able to overcome some fears about completing a 5K in a certain amount of time and focus on being healthy and having fun. In fact, with some blogging colleagues this morning, we were talking about The Color Run and how great it is that all walks of life and participants at all fitness levels attend and participate.
Part of my sweet swag from The Color Run and Shout® was my super fun bag full of great goodies, including much needed Shout® clean-up tools. I kid you not, I was COVERED (both inside my clothes and out) that day with every color of the rainbow. When I walked through the door, my husband dropped his jaw and directed me straight toward the laundry room (good idea!) I peeled off my #ShoutItOut t-shirt, my Color Run cuff, running capris, socks, and shoes. I put a few squirts of Shout® Trigger over all of the clothing and tossed together lightly. Then, I added my own detergent and the intriguing Shout® Color Catcher®, a simple little cloth-like napkin that you add to the wash to grab and catch all those colors that are being released. They worked great and my shirt came out perfectly white!
Maybe you aren't near a Color Run city....or maybe you aren't quite ready for a 5K, but still want to have FUN! Shout® hasn’t forgotten about those that weren’t able to attend The Color Run! For those that missed “The Happiest 5K on the Planet” Shout® has launched the Shout It Out Fun Finder to help American’s continue crossing things off experiences of their “must-do/wish lists”. Visitors to their website will get a list of fun activities served by nearby locations that is curated based on their IP address.
But that’s not all! Shout® is also giving one lucky winner the chance to win a fun-filled, dream vacation to experience a Color Run in New Zealand. To enter, users simply post a photo on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #ShoutItOut #enter. Hurry, contest ends September 30, 2014.
Shout® Prize Pack – To ensure that you have fun-filled experience regardless of what activity you take on, Shout® and I have partnered up to give away to one lucky winner a Shout® prize, so you can have fun, make a mess and not worry about the clean-up. They’ve got you covered – trust me (if you forgot, see above!) One lucky winner will receive the following:
· Shout® Trigger is packed with stain-fighting ingredients and enzymes to quickly penetrate, break-up and remove tough stains. Safe for all colorfast washables and works in all water temperatures.
· Shout® Color Catcher® sheets absorb and trap loose dyes in wash water, protecting clothes against color bleeds and helping preserve original colors. Sheets change color as they absorb loose dyes, and reduce the need for sorting laundry. Safe for all colorfast washables and works in all water temperatures.

The formula lets you treat stains now and wash up to a week later. Safe for all colorfast washables and works in all water temperatures.
· Shout® Wipes (I keep these on hand in my purse!) can be used to remove stains on-the-go right when they happen and are easily disposable—just throw the used cloth away. They’re perfect for clothing, carpet and auto interiors, and are safe for all colorfast washables.
