Tonight was one of my favorite fall fun races. It's called the Headless Horseman 5K. There is actually a dude in a headless costume riding a horse! People dress up. I wore my big orange jack-o-lantern tshirt and orange/black striped knee socks. The race is at night, after dark, so I also wore light up bracelets. They were giving out glow sticks so I pinned mine into my pony tail. (they came on a string but I took the string off and used a safety pin to pin it to my scrunchie.) I wore my running skirt since it wasn't that cold. A lady took a picture of me and texted it to me but I never got it so I can't post a pic but I did have one last year and I wore the same this year.

The race course goes though a park and along a lake and then back out of the park and down the street to a cemetery. The run winds through the cemetery and along a lake, which was really cool because there was a big ole full moon right up above us!! There is nearly a mile in the cemetery. It was chilly but not too cold for running. I did have to wear gloves and a headband but I wore my skirt. After the race there was baggies of CANDY!!! I had a mini Milky Way bar in mine - my favorite!!! There were also popcorn balls; I haven't had a popcorn ball in forever! I thought I was just going to taste it with a few bites but later on after I got home, I got it out of my bag and finished it up!!
As I was walking back to my car (a few blocks) I realized that my foot never hurt at all, not even a twinge, while I was running the race and as I was walking to the car it wasn't hurting!!!! I was sooooo happy!! I had the biggest smile on my face, even though it was dark and no one could see it!!
KEY WEST, HERE I COME!!!!!!!
