It was a blast. It wasn't so much of a run though - at many parts we didn't have a choice and had to walk because of so many people. It was still fun. We were colored from head to toe. Litterally, because the color sprays went through clothes and colored our skin. Luckily the powdered stuff came off fine because my skin was raw from scrubbing the spray off! Totally worth it.
Before. Clothes sparking white.
Running along.
Finish Line color blast
The kids don't come to too many of my races since they are in the early morning, but they know what to expect. Not this time. Aria was weirded out when she saw me. Ben was/is still pretty sick, so he didn't really show emotion one way or another.
This is how to run through the color stations without a lung full of colored cornstarch!
Even still... our faces got pretty dirty.
With the race sunglasses on, sprays still got in my eyes!
After! My stomach, bum and feet got soaked through my clothes!
Finish area color throw at the end.
There was a haze in the air all over. Everyone who didn't run even had a dusting over them.
Near us there is a Hari Krishna Temple (Hindu) that celebrates Holi with a huge fundraiser/festival where color bombs are thrown similar to this and is a blast too!

That was such a fun thing to see! I couldn't believe how colored me and the kiddos got, even though we didn't run. So fun! You guys looked awesome.
I adrmire you for running as often as you do! You have inspired me to start running again. This race looks like it was a lot of fun! And, I really like the photo of you kissing Aria on the cheek! So much love you have for her :) You, and I need to run together soon before you have no admiration to run any more. Haha (which I'm sure won't happen)
Wow, you guys had too much fun! I think that kiss to Aria was probably a little hesitation with it. Doesn't make you wonder what they are thinking about it all. Fun Day!
