TGIF ~ Race Shout-outs and Halloween Happiness

Happy Friday, friends!


Sending a few race weekend shout-outs today:

To my local buddy, Kitzzy, who's heading to Miami for the Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon.  Dealing with health issues has thrown a few roadblocks up for this seasoned runner, but she's ready.  Have fun, friend!!



And in the "First-ever, Ironically-the-Same-Marathon" category, two runners are in my thoughts today.....

Ask Wifey is all set for her 26.2 debut in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., a race that's on my own Bucket List (but in the HM version, thank you).  She'll be tweeting while running, which she mentioned on her newest blog this week.  Good gaaawwwd!!  Good luck, AW! 

Along with Ask Wifey, a fellow Orlando runner who's been training hard, tapering patiently (sort of), and now ready for hew own run at the 26.2, is also heading to our nation's capitol this weekend.  @Krystal isn't a blogger (yet!), but posts and tweets regularly. We're planning a lunch date after her return, so I can get the scoop on her big day.  :-)  Look for details and a guest post in upcoming weeks.



If you're running a race this weekend, tell us about in the Comments section. Would love to hear what everyone's doing!


Finally, wishing everyone a Ghostly Halloween Weekend...

my most favorite holiday of the year! 

Could totally relate to the Mom on Modern Family this week!  Missed the Halloween episode? Check it out here*Ann, this is for YOU!   




Have a great weekend, friends.


More to come about this week's runs with
the GOTR girls and Tobi.


What's on YOUR agenda??


*hugs* from Orlando!

Good luck runners this weekend!
Have a great weekend Robin!

Good luck all!
I'll be running the Daytona Half Marathon on Halloween. I won't be racing it, but pacing my girlfriend to get her a new PR (she wants 2 hours). I've been battling IT band issues the last few weeks so a half marathon is a nice "break" after 15-20 mile long runs over the last 4-6 weeks :)
Have a fun Halloween!
P.S. Modern Family is my favorite TV show right now. Hilarious!!

Kitzzy said...

Thanks for the shout out Robin and the well wishes!

Good luck to everyone else also racing this weekend!

Haha! Thanks for the link to Modern Family. Our local affiliate actually played it last night at 2 AM. I guess the viewing area was up in arms about it being taken over with weather programming.

Good luck to all the racers this weekend! I hope it is a BANNER day for all!

Laura said...

Hahah I love your halloween socks! Hope you have a great weekend :-)

Pretend this is real... said...

I'll be running the Jazz Half Marathon in New Orleans... in costume! So much more fun to do Halloween races in costume, if possible. Good luck to everyone running the MCM!

Robin said...

Harold, have fun pacing. Your GF will surely make her PR with you by her side. :-)

Pretend this is real... Thanks for joining the Turtles Tribe this week and HAVE FUN in the Jazz HM in New Orleans, in costume! THAT sounds fun!! Great city. :-)

Amanda, I do hope you can find Kitzzy... she's a great friend and dedicated runner.

rubber7soul, glad you got to see Modern Family. Yes, sounds the community rallied. Awesome!

Happy Halloween Weekend, friends!! Now, I'm off to don my Halloween knee socks and head out to run errands. LOL

*hugs* from Orlando! (and thanks for the hugs/weekend wishes back!)
