My second half marathon was the Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon. My training didn't go as planned as I injured my siesmoid bones in my left foot late in July. Also, I was a little nervous because we had the huge Ft. Lauderdale Halloween Street Party planned for that evening and I didn't want to be sore and miserable because we had great costumes for the evening!
My running partner in crime.. (Or superhero in this circumstance) Megan and I planned to run the half as the Incredibles with two of our other friends who unfortunately had to back out. We stuck with our costume idea and everyone on the course loved it. We got asked to be in so many pictures and it was adorable hearing little kids scream, "Look, Daddy!!! It's Elastigirl!!" I finished the race slow and steady and felt so good after! Thank Goodness!
It's ADVENTURE TIME!! That evening Megan, her husband David, our friend Jim, and I basically won Halloween. Megan and I got a good nap in after the half, and we got costumed up and headed to downtown Fort Lauderdale for the street party. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loved our costumes. We took so many pictures with random people, people bought us shots, about a thousand people shouted our characters' names as we walked through the streets. We kinda felt famous. Halloween is definitely one of my favorite nights of the year!
