@vtcupcake , so exciting!! Where is the picture?!?

Any vents/whines/grumbles? I need more sleep and time with my H. Life is busy. We get the kids to bed around 9, do chores, then it's bedtime around 10. I feel like I don't get any time to sit and hang out with H. We're in desperate need of a date night. We're going to see Anastasia in a few weeks at the Kennedy Center and I'm very excited about this. But I accidentally bought tickets for Sunday night instead of Saturday night and I'm annoyed that I have to get up to go to work the next day.

Any highlights or AWs? I had a blast cheering on people at the MCM and handing out water and candy. I also caught up with a few of my running buddies I haven't seen in a while. 

NRR - We got second place in our neighborhood decorating contest! I'm very excited about this. The kids loved the decorations and had fun helping out. I already have a great idea for next year to step up our game and get 1st. 

BONUS QUESTION! TRICK OR TREAT! If we were having an H&F Halloween party, what would you dress up as and what kind of candy would you hope for? Nothing too creative. One of these years, I'll think of something. I'm going to break out the doughnut costume this year. I love me some Reese's and Kit Kats.

Just trying to keep my shit together this week, stay in a positive head space, ignore the random back, ankle, hip, IT band etc pain and stay far far away from all the halloween candy.

Any highlights or AWs?


BONUS QUESTION! TRICK OR TREAT! If we were having an H&F Halloween party, what would you dress up as and what kind of candy would you hope for?
I'd keep my current costume - ham & cheese sandwich. I'm not allowed to have candy until post race so whatever the rest of the group is looking for.

Thanks. I'm still coming to terms with it, it was supposed to be my A race this year. The dr said I might be able to jog some of it. Heh.

I guess it's time to start looking ahead to the women's half in May!
