We finally saw some fall weather here in the swampy south. Temps actually dipped into the 50s (lows, highs still in the 70s), so I ended up with some decent runs (finally!).

Sigh. Fall nuttery is in full swing over here. As much as I love this time of year, it’s also so busy.

So, last week wasn’t my most stellar week, and I’m a bit late to the weekly recap party. But I’m still moving along.

Last year, B wore a pretty fun Halloween costume. I was also pretty proud of myself for DIY’ing that thing, so I thought it would be fun to post a tutorial on how you can also do-it-yourself (in case you also have a toddler who insists on being a dinosaur but generally refuses to wear costumes). 

And with that, week four of fall training is complete. Like the gazillion weeks before it, this week was hot and humid, and running was tough.

This past weekend, I ran the Hope for Haiti 5K Trail Run. This is the 2nd time I ran this race. I ran it back in 2016 (just at the start of what would become a near year long issue with anemia). I was hoping for a better race this time around...then the unexpected happened. 

I initially wrote up my first pass at fall 2018 race planning back in April.
