May 4th, 2013: the day that I dyed.

If you are reading this right now, then that means that I have dyed, and I found that dyeing was actually really enjoyable!

On Saturday, I was able to participate in a 5k fun run called Run or Dye, where runners get covered in colored dyes before, during, and after their run, turning them into walking rainbows. It was a cold damp morning, so most of the runners were wearing a couple layers so they wouldn’t freeze, but the cold definitely didn’t stop the party train!  Harriet Island was packed with runners of all ages, shapes, and sizes; but most people were wearing a white outfit to act as a canvas for the torrent of color.  Everyone there was having a blast celebrating life through fitness and fun.

I had such a wonderful time with all of the runners.  Thanks to Run or Dye and everyone who participated for making this event possible, I can’t wait to dye again next year.

Here are some pics of me in color carnage:
