I ended up just watching this race this year so Rick could run it. It was a sort of chilly day, and the kids didn't have jackets, so I had them wear my Mountain Mist and McKay Hollow Madness jackets to stay warm. We found some pretty leaves that they wanted to play in, but they were all wet.
Waiting for the race to start
The runners!
Something that was new this year was that men and women started together (had they not, we both could have run!). Since I was just spectating, I don't really know how that went or whether or not the start was too congested.
Spooktacular 5K Saturday, October 26, 2013
Nothing big to record here! Rick and I had just decided to run a marathon the following weekend (more on that later!), so I used the Friday before Spook to run 18 miles. I never do that before a 5K. I need to rest before a 5K if I am going to run fast! Also, I hadn't been doing speedwork. I expected my time to be slow for me, and it was! I ended up with around 6:40 miles for a total of 20:54. My splits were so consistent that I knew they were all I could do today, and I just focused on having a good time. I was 5th OAF and still managed to get 1st in my age group.
Mile 1-6:43

As usual, Gregg Gelmis found a great spot and took some wonderful pictures of the runners. To get this shot, he was actually lying down on the street! I love how fallish it looks!
