I Live In A Ditch As a Pink Crayon

Hello! How are you doing? It’s week 2 of me actually training for one of those marathon race things. Yesterday I hit up a class that had a lot of leg work so I had my work cut out for me today. My training plan called for a 5 mile tempo run, 1 mile each warm up and cool down.

I was going to drive to a flatter location but didn’t have time. So I knew my goal times would be a little off since the route away from my house is slightly uphill the whole time. I basically live in a ditch and it’s uphill every way out.

I took a couple of breaks to change my music and talk a relfie (run selfie even though it sounds like ‘ralph selfie’ as in barf). I only hit my goal pace one mile, but I think I’m aiming a little high with the goals anyway.

My warm up and cool down miles were super slow. My tempos… 8:42, 8:54, 8:27, 8:23, 8:12. You can see where the uphills got me.

I grabbed an apple as soon as I got home and made breakfast.

Last night I hit up the GW (GoodWill) to look for costumes.

I need a Halloween costume and I need a costume for Rock N Roll LA this weekend. I bought a few things, but am still not sure what I’m going to be for the race.

I got this pink crayon costume for my mom. She has to dress up because my niece’s party is on Halloween and we’re all dressing up. (I will not be a pink crayon because I don’t look good in pink / I ordered another costume for myself online. )

Question: Do you have your costume yet?
