It looked like a Halloween kind of day today.
Which means that I would have loved to stay in bed. And with my adorable kitten curled up in my arms, I did end up staying in bed a little too long this morning. When I finally decided that I was going to brave the drizzle, there was another gust of rain.
When I took this picture, I couldn’t believe that the leaves have changed color again. In the end, the rain stopped and I was able to run a slow 3ish miles on a warm, humid morning. It was meant to be a shake out run before Saturday’s 8 Mile Hustle, but in reality it was a pretty labored run with sore calves and glutes from Tuesday’s strength workout. I swear I did 500 dead lifts with at least 500 pounds on the bar. Or at least it felt that way! We’ll just have to see what happens on Saturday. Luckily, I have no expectations for the run except to have fun!
I didn’t have too much planned for Halloween today, except work!
So I thought a Throwback Thursday of Halloween’s past would be fitting!
Halloween 2012 AH MAZE ING Pumpkin Dip!
Halloween working at a Children’s Hospital
And of course a throwback photo of me and a Jack-o-Lantern from the early 80’s!
How did you celebrate Halloween?
Luv What You Do 
Love the ’80s photo! Glad you had a warm run! Good luck with the sore muscles! I have some pretty tender ones from Tuesday still!
That is why we don’t strength training during season right?! Brutal! Happy Friday!
Good luck tomorrow-HAVE FUN!! That is really why we do this for-FUN. Marathons aside these shorter runs are fun-the excitement in the air and all the people! So just enjoy yourself-and inspire someone along the way-the runner you encourage may have been ready to quit! I always find runners to be the nicest most generous people around.
That was beautifully said/written Debi! Thank you!
I a definitely running for fun and hot cider tomorrow and love being a part of the running community! Fingers crossed for a dry morning!
Amazing costume!! And you are going to rock your race!
Thanks Erin!
