The First Halfsie!

Ta Da!! After years of saying I was going to do it... I did it! Haha. Not the farthest I've ever gone, but definitely the most sore I've been after a long run (I may have forgotten to stretch. And to bring gloves! Rookie mistake.)

 Gotta catch em all!

 My friend Jannette = super cute mega-athlete!

The worst part: Dying of hypothermia at 6 a.m. waiting to be bussed up to Sundance. (After waking up at 5:51 a.m. to the text: Are you up? We're waiting outside.)

The best part: Running into tons of London friends (get it??) and everyone else's COSTUMES!
(Pikachu was a 6.99 find at Savers. Sometimes Karma just has your back.)

My personal favorites:
1. The guy who ran in a suit with a sign on his back identifying him as the 1%.
2. The guy who ran in a button-down and bright Spiderman briefs... forgot to his pants to work.
3. The family who ran as pigs. I especially liked when they wrapped themselves up earlier in the parking lot (Pigs in a blanket!)
4. The group of super buff guys who ran as fairies. Glittery tutus and all.
5. The lady who had on a hat like this.

I was jealous in the "I am so happy this thing exists" kind of way.

P.S. While we're on the topic of firsts, guess what I did for the first time this weekend...

What? Your work doesn't let you throw pumpkins off a roof for two hours? Bummer.
Because it was awesome.
