    change the IMG tags to lowercase (i.e. img) and they'll work :)

    Congrats!! I want to do the Color Run (New Orleans) but it sold out by the time I discovered it. I'm on the list of hopefuls waiting for someone to give up their spot so I can have it!

    Looks like so much fun! My cousin also did this run in SF yesterday - she loved it.

    I am doing the Color Me Rad in Fresno, same as adedini - hoping we can meet up that day! I have friends who are signed up and am encouraging more to do so - seems like it is a blast with friends!

    Thanks for sharing the pics!

    I had some friends that did the color run in Minneapolis today (or was in in St. Paul? I think it was at the fairgrounds). I was jealous because I wanted to go but I can't really afford the entry fee at the moment :-/ But next year, I WILL be there! And I will run it, hopefully only walking at the color stations!
