It got onto my radar screen for the first time in September when Maggie mentioned that she was signed up for it - otherwise I don't know if I would have ever heard about it. Maybe next year we can all run it together?!?!?<br /><br />Glad you like the tourist costume idea! It is really a super simple costume that can be created with ordinary things at home, which is why it's one of my favorites. Did you dress up for Halloween? If so, please share pictures!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-3165565583103699582013-10-31T23:26:14.535-05:002013-10-31T23:26:14.535-05:00That's awesome that you got your run in!

I suppose in the years I've been racing I've never encountered a sold out race so I suppose it's my time! <br /><br />Also, I really like your tourist costume idea. You should resurrect it next year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535047973293442700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-34240196337353804812013-10-31T15:05:42.531-05:002013-10-31T15:05:42.531-05:00What a bummer that the Halloween parade at school ...What a bummer that the Halloween parade at school was cancelled! The kids must have been really disappointed. =( Here is hoping everyone can salvage SOME trick-or-treating tonight. Maybe not hours on end, but at least a little bit!<br /><br />Yay for 60-mile Octobers for both of us!!! Can't beat 60-degree temps in late October, eh? I was out there today in shorts and a s/s shirt, but could have easily worn a tank top!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-1561061528215233582013-10-31T14:57:53.863-05:002013-10-31T14:57:53.863-05:00It's been raining here all day!

But it's never rained on Halloween for as long as I've had kids so I guess we were due. Yay for getting your run in!

His thought was that black socks were worse because they make it look like a businessman gone wrong. But I said that white socks could be considered worse because they contrast more sharply with the sandals. (Yes, the things we talk about, LOL)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-13756406385540289172013-10-31T14:39:12.288-05:002013-10-31T14:39:12.288-05:00Kinda tan colored/gray.

But 60 miles for the month of October are in the books!!!<br /><br />Good idea on putting the watch face on the inside of your arm during precipitation!

It is fun to run in the rain as long as it is not very cold out (and I will take these 60-degree temps for the end of October!) Although, my Garmin 305 died the last time I went running in the rain - so I've learned my lesson that it might be safer to skip the GPS watch in precipitation! =Demmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-13531121214100510122013-10-31T11:56:52.148-05:002013-10-31T11:56:52.148-05:00I love your costume ideas! :) So easy and clever!

Pictures, please!<br /><br />Ah yes - I live in a high-rise condo building and every year management organizes indoor trick-or-treating for the kids that live here. It's definitely a nice way to stay protected from the elements, but I think there is something so festive about trick-or-treating outside in the crisp air and running from house to house, right? But at the same time, treats are treats. =D<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes on this weekend's race! Likewise, I wish you a nice weekend of relaxation after your two consecutive weekends of half marathons!!! =)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-65747834520755739852013-10-31T09:43:29.382-05:002013-10-31T09:43:29.382-05:00Happy Halloween!
