Halloween 1/2 Marathon...

I just got this picture of me from the race off the racing website (I know, I look like a babe in all my gear!) It was cold (can you tell?). The race started at Aspen Grove (above Sundance) and ended at the Riverwoods in Orem. I was prepared for the weather--6 layers on top, 2 pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks, and a hat. I thought I'd warm up and shed some layers but I was cold the whole time. One girl that I passed along the way was wearing a tank top and shorts. I'm sure she thought I was a whimp.

Happy Halloween!

My camera battery went dead, so here's the only picture I got. Ethan and Ry. Caleb was a fireman and Ireland was a wizard. I think my sister got some, so I will post them when she emails them to me.

We had a great Halloween! I ran the Halloween 1/2 Marathon with my sister Brit. It was great! I beat my 1/2 Marathon personal best from my college years! I placed 5th in my old lady age group. Ok, so a good portion of it was downhill, but still...I'm almost 39 years old! I can barely walk today. The downhill is a killer on your legs! Brit beat her time from her last 1/2 Marathon by 20 minutes. Way to go!

Later we went to a neighbors for a soup fest with the rest of the neighborhood and then Scott took the kids trick-or-treating. Ethan was sick so he stayed home with me and handed out candy. We had over 250 trick or treaters. We actually ran out of candy. Who has 250 trick or treaters?? Luckily a neighbor brought us over 3 more huge bags. So now we have enough candy to last us a few years. If you ever need a chocolate fix--head on over.
