I met up with Courteney early in the morning and got ready to run.
My camera stayed with Rich while I was running, but here were are coming up to the finish line!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun looking event!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Very colorful & fun organization, you seem very happy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess you're at the same road with your mom, as I remember that she likes to run as well :)
Hugs!
Hey, thanks for sharing this article.I saw the run as a chance to raise some money for the Children's Cancer and Blood Foundation and go for a non-competitive run with my friends and have a little fun with some colored corn starch. I'm sorry if I've offended you. If I were invited to a Holi celebration I would be honored. (I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of Indian people so I've been able to go to quite a few traditional celebrations but never Holi).
ReplyDeleteShe does! The other day in Brooklyn I saw a place called Deniz Restaurant and I tried to get a pic and missed, but it made me think of you!
ReplyDeleteAhaha really! :) "Deniz" means "sea" in our language.
ReplyDeleteAhh! Great photos. Erin did this in Mass. this year but I couldn't make it. Looks like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI know about 12 other people who ran in this one too. ;)
ReplyDeleteGIRL. Dat bod. I have no idea what these crazy color runs are? It looks super uncomfortable. And yet now I feel like doing it. CARDIO.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty gross and hard to breathe with the cornstarch in my face and it was a million degrees outside on top of blacktop, but it was fun. Hahaha, yea, I do a lot of cardio as stress relief. Whenever I'm in great shape you can bet I'm stressed.
ReplyDeleteNice one! And great pictures. There´s so many things with coloured dust throwing lately... I´ve seen it in at least two music videos, and ad, and there have been two separate Holi Festivals here in Barcelon. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Probably coming to New York for a few days this August... you around mid August?
That looks so amazingly fun. I want to get a little more serious about running. I just did 4 miles the other day and that was a huge step—I plateau'd at 3 miles two years ago and can't seem to get over that hump. I want to do a half-marathon this year!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do of these, but they keep selling out in Michigan! You guys look so awesome and like you are having a blast!
ReplyDeleteI think signing up with a team is the easiest way to do it if you've got a few friends interested. It is really fun!
ReplyDeleteI have never run 4 miles as an adult! I did couch to 5K a year ago and have also sort of crapped out at 3ish miles. I'm thinking of doing couch to 10K though. I didn't know you liked running!! Have you thought of getting a training app on your phone?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, I've never seen one in NY. I will be around in mid-August!! Let me know the dates and shoot me an email :) My couch is your couch.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, this looks amazing!

I really feel like all my friends did this this year! This and/or the Warrior Dash. Congrats on running and completing it, even with all that crazy dye in your face!
