Color Me Rad Experience

Color Me Rad was, well, RAD! The day started off with getting our gear together, dressing in our best outfits (which included Jackie and I wearing tutu's and knee high socks, & bandana's and our hubby's wore a pair of knee high's as well), and finding a place to park.
We happened to park about a city block away from where it all started and once there, we waited. And waited. And waited. To tell you, they were not on schedule. At all.

But hey, once we got going, it was a BLAST! The first color zone was Green, and it was sprayed on us with a mixed of water and green dye. This first zone was to soak us so the next zone's color would stick to us.

The second zone was orange or maybe it was purple. Ah crap! Jackie, do you remember?

The third zone was either orange or the purple.

The fourth zone was another round of liquid dye, this time it was yellow.

And the fifth zone was... oh man, it's all a color haze. I can't remember.

But during the halfway point, you turned around and heading back through all the zones again. The final stretch, however, ended with us getting blasted with pink corn starch.

We walked most of the way but my husband encouraged us to run the last bit so we had the satisfaction of ending strong.

Here are some pictures from the pros and from our cells. ENJOY!

Would we do it again? MOST DEFINITELY!

Hope everyone has a COLORFUL Wednesday!

Whats Up Wednesday - I Got Mail & IWSG

What's Up Wednesday is a weekly meme geared toward readers and writers, allowing us to touch base with blog friends and let them know what's up. It's hosted by the lovely Erin and Jaime.
This is also what I'm using for my IWSG post created by Alex ... two birds, one stone.

What I'm reading
Email - Last Thursday I FINALLY received an email I've been waiting on. Well technically I totally forgot I was waiting on it, it has been that long. A few months ago my hubby suggested I send my blog link to Run For Your Lives (RFYL) because they were looking for a few bloggers. Well a few emails passed between myself and RFYL and they have chosen me as one of their bloggers!! Woot Woot! So be looking for frequent Zombie posts, running posts, book post, etc. I will be applying what I learn from movies and novels and incorporating those towards the RFYL race.

What I'm Writing
Still working on my poems but now writing more for the above mentioned posts.

What Else I've Been Up To
Well I finished my bike race and now I'm working towards a 5k I will be running/walking with Jackie and our husbands August 24th. Color Me Rad is going to be, well, RAD!

What Inspires Me Right Now
Zombies!!

What's Up on your Wednesday? *Mike, Mike, Mike, what day is it? ... Huuummmp Daaaaay!* Having a good one? I hope so!!
