My lil GECKO

Once upon a time there lived a gecko in a metal alligator....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!: 4 Mile "Run Tu Tu Holy Angels"

I have always wanted to wear a tutu as an adult...not sure why, but I have.

So this was a perfect opportunity to do so...(given more time, I would have come up with something more creative...and definitely less glittery)

Hence the reason why for the less glittery statement....IT...WAS...ALL...OVER!!

But the morning of the race, it was fun to get into "costume"...

a Panther.

I used watercolor crayons to paint on a nose and whiskers....and at the race, realized it wasn't the best choice....sweat/watery eyes/runny nose = water = runny makeup

RAWRRRR....

 

This is me wondering if I can do this with no training or preparation...and not wanting to be last.

Getting ready to start....so many fun costumes.

And after the finish ...

Finished at the bottom, but I don't care as I do this simply for fun and exercise.

4 miles = 49:02

WHAT A DAY!: October 23-25, 2015

The vacation has begun with a new do:

Then a car ride to Virginia to enjoy nature and get some R&R.

(per Tony...this was a "bear" that mysteriously turned into a cow the next morning.)

 

(I wonder if this sign was put up after my brother ran through the door when he was little...oops?!?!)

 

(Tony was having a bit of College Football withdrawals)

And then we said farewell, and grabbed burgers on the way back to Charlotte before Tony headed home.  SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME AWAY!!
