The Boy took a whopping 191 photos with his iphone during the color run, all of which I have uploaded to Flickr WITHOUT EDITING. That’s riiiiight!

The whole shebang kicked off at the Seattle Center Sunday morning, bright and early.

7000 people were registered to run. The race sold out in 4 hours–record time.

We received tee-shirts, sweatbands, temporary tattoos and a packet of color to toss at the finishing line.

Chicken heads?

Even though we were “late”, we still arrived with plenty of time to wait before the race began.

Taking self-portraits with iphones is kind of tricky.

There were plenty of tutus at the Color Run, as you might imagine.

Neon, too. My kind of race!

There were so many runners, people had to start running in waves.

Finally, we were off!

We didn’t do a lot of running. We were with Corinne, after all!

Blue was the first color they threw at us. You could see the upcoming colors by a cloud of pigment.

Yellow was the second color.

Green was the next color, and they went to town on me–someone dumped a handful on my head; someone else splashed some right in my face. I didn’t like that so much.

Some enthusiastic weirdos rolled on the ground, as well.

Ha, ha.

Nice wigs!

Nice socks!

The final color was orange, a little disappointing to Corinne and I. We were hoping it would be pink or purple.

I got a little nostalgic for Burning Man, I have to say.

Nearing the finish line!

Holding up my packet of pink powder to throw.

You know, the actual race was 10,000 times more fun than training for the race!

I’d do it again! Actually, I am doing it again–we’re doing a 5K this Sunday called “The Big Backyard Run”, with the dogs, at Marymoor Park. I signed us up for it before I knew about the Color Run.

After the run we went and had a big fatty breakfast at “The Breakfast Club”–woo hoo!

It was a good day. If you are interested in looking at the other 43492348 photos, they are all here!
