This has nothing to do with photography: Color Run!

A little back story: over the last 2 1/2 years I’ve gone from not running AT ALL (we’re talking can’t even run a mile without keeling over) to running two half marathons…and back to not running at all.  (If you want to read more about that journey you can here)   I’ve been feeling sedentary lately and not just that, but lazy too.  It’s amazing the difference in the way you feel when you treat your body with respect!  Anyway, I’ve been on a mission to find something to kickstart me back into healthy-land.  When I saw the Color Run I couldn’t resist!!  We meant to have a big group, but it sold out in 3 hours in Seattle!!!  So it ended up just being my sister and I running together…which was kind of cool and special in itself.

So the premise of the Color Run is this:  everyone starts out dressed in white.  As you run there is a different color at each kilometer.  For us it was blue at 1k, yellow at 2k, green at 3k, and orange at 4k…at the finish line there is a party where everyone throws their bag of color at once…and you end the race decidedly NOT in white.

I was DYING to have my camera there (although I would’ve been terrified of ruining it!), but was thankful to have my husband there to grab a couple of shots for us from the sidelines.

And for the record, I’ve been kickstarted.  Thank you, Color Run!
