Yet another 5k (and a PB as well)

I ran the haunted hustle 5k here in Wisconsin. What a blast! There were course zombies (alive...dead?) giving high fives along the way and plenty of creative costumes. It was pretty cold and windy, but I was nice and toasty once we got going. I knocked 2-3 minutes off of my previous best time and came in at 40:46.1 and 563 out of 801 runners (male and female). I'll take that.

p.s. Check out my bling! Both it and my race shirt are glow-in-the-dark!

That's so cool and looking great well done I want to do a ghost run on Friday, but my daughter is too scared and I'm not sure I want to do it on my own, although I normally end up running alone anyway!

Thank you! Yes Halloween runs are lots of fun. We had one group of runners dressed like a six pack pf beer - they ran toting their crate. Hilarious.
