Alhambra Pumpkin 5K Recap

Few weeks ago I did the Alhambra Pumpkin Run. Its the first year they had the run and I happened to find a great deal on Groupon. I was excited to do another local run. Not having to wake up early or drive miles was a plus. Since it was the themed run I had to dress up and make another tutu.When It came time for the race I was kind of dreading it because of the weather reports that week. Weather reports had that Saturday's expected highs up in the 90s. It was fun dressing up and getting ready for the run, but the run was just killer in the heat. I stopped twice and another time to tie my shoe. The heat really got to me and I just couldn't wait till the run was done. Its hard to say if I would do this race next year since I can't predict the weather. If they would get chip timing I may do the race, but its still a year a way so we'll see.

Runtober 2014

Somehow I manger to turn October into Runtober. I started running Race for the Rescues several years ago and I have been running it ever since in honor of our family dog. Then I saw a groupon for another local race The Pumpkin Run so I decided why not. At my local run club they were talking about Rock and Roll Los Angeles so after finding friends that would do the 5k with me I couldn't refuse. Haven't done three races in a month, but I'm up for the challenge. I love dressing up for races so it's perfect these races are in October. Hope these races are spooktacular! Ha ha ha! May tomorrow's pumpkin run not be that crazy hot even though I know it will be. As long as make it through with out stopping no matter how slow I run I'll be happy.
