Today we participated in the Las Vegas Color Run! It’s a 5k where they throw colored powder at you every kilometer. It’s not a race, per se, since there’s no timing runners, so I did not feel the pressure to do something I’m not able to. I hadn’t run in weeks, so if there was a competitive component, I would have beat myself up. Lucky for me, friend Margaret hadn’t been feeling well, so we ran through the color zones and power walked the bits in between.
It was such a blast! A fun way to exercise and raise money for Three Square, a local food pantry that serves a huge percentage of the city. I can’t say much more, since pictures are the only way to do it justice:
Love this girl. So glad we got to leave near each other again after college!
After the “race”, there’s a moment in time where everyone gets to throw their own packet of “color”. It was insane!
They explain how to get more or less color. Clearly, I took their advice and made the most of the color experience and Keith stayed as clean as possible. I got green powder thrown in my face (and mouth) at point blank range and couldn’t see through my glasses at all. A photographer was right in front of me and said, “Well, there’s the shot of the day!” Anything I can do to help you out, man.
How the color works!
These crazies are awesome friends. Thanks for all the laughs!
Quadruple Bypass Burger at the Heart Attack Cafe. Gross.
They weren’t letting “paint people” in. How rude!
Vegas at it’s best – there are so many awesome, family friendly things to be part of in this city!

As an aside, one guy saw my face and called me She Hulk. Here’s my self-portrait inspired by the new nickname!

It’s Saturday, but this is totally something I’m thankful for and a favorite memory so far this year!
