This past weekend, I continued my recent 2010 i-run-in-races obsession new hobby by participating in Brew-to-Brew. I took my camera with me to capture moments of my friends in their running glory. I’ve posted all the picture to my flickr.

So what is Brew-to-Brew? It’s a day long relay running race in which your team runs a combined 43+ miles from Kansas City to Lawrence, Kansas (you run from one beer brewing company to another). I had a blast at this race. It’s much more relaxed than most. I ran the last leg of our team’s relay. 4.6 miles of “remember-the-college-days-gloryness” running into gorgeous Lawrence, over the river and past City Hall

There is one unique thing about this race thing I observed; running is typically a very solo, individual, self-motivated sport. This relay race format, makes it very team focused (which is awesome!) You can’t help but be cheesy supportive to your teammates, yelling and cheering them on during each of their portions of the relay. If you’ve got a group of friends into running- check this out next year, it’s a great time.

This weekend, I was running errands and noticed this awesome “open” sign that hangs on the front window of Miriam Garvey, a boutique here in Kansas City. The playful typography of the open sign, along with strong bold red door caught my attention. So I had some fun putting together this mini-series-capture, especially since this was paired with unexpected snow fall.

One of my goals for 2010 is to take 1 creative photo each week. This has been a fun ongoing challenge for me, with mixed results (i’ve taken some really bad photos, and some good photos). Stay tuned to the blog for more photo blog posts in the future.

So on my drive home — I was thinking, I really should put together a semi-formal explanation vblog as a “pass-along” piece for the benefit party I’m planning.

And waa-laa (see below). I whipped up together this quick vblog. A short and sweet history of the party. I’m planning on making more videos …hopefully funny and crazy ones.
