Color Me Rad San Diego 2013

      I have really gotten into doing mud runs. Any races or challenges that are not what I call your "vanilla" running race. But I did hear about this race where they hit you with color. I wanted to go down and check one out. I thought it would be an amazing photo opportunity.
     My impression was that it is a nice, easy and mellow fun 5k. You should try one. Get a group together or family. It really is about enjoying the run and making it a fun event. It is about finishing on your own time. If you do not run much or want to try something new this is one for you.
     It is amazing what a little wind does for the neighboring areas where the color is being thrown. Some people might not be happy when they came out to their car later. =D I will say as a note, be prepared to get color on you even if you don't run. It is a party scene down there. People will not know if there is a person standing near them trying to stay clean. It is a Super fun environment.

As a photography rich event I want to remind myself of some things to think about next time:
Families
Kids and kids in strollers
Aftermath shots
Workers when they are done
Some cool individual  in front of crowd doing the color throw facing the race signage

Making things Healthier

My son wanted to have a donut for breakfast. Well they sure are healthy. How do I enjoy a tasty treat with my son and not feel guilty? I know that we have a place close by so I made sure to take my son over in the jogging stroller. I took a route that had me run a nice 4.5 miles. We then enjoyed our treat and I had a nice cool down walk home. Win/win situation.
