Had an enjoyable fall run at the Halloween Half Marathon today. The route was gorgeous and lots of downhill. I avoided pushing at any point because I have a 50K next Saturday and want to recover in time.

Thanks to Leslie and Harold Peterson for picking up the packets in the packet fiasco yesterday and for Harold taking us up the back route so we could sit in the warm car and wait for the race to start. Looks like more uncertainties with the buses not knowing where to drop off runners.

Fun to watch all the different costumes. Leslie was a clown and I was a ladybug. I don't think the wings help my aerodynamics.

Good thing it was a cool day - because only got offered sports drink once and it was watered down. Other aid stations were already out of it.

I'd like to do it again - but only if the RD learns to organize a bit better.
