Today was the Chicago Marathon, and I have to say, I'm a little jealous. Reading Facebook all day makes me want to tackle 26.2 again, and soon. But I have to get the foot back in running shape.
So I spent the day doing fun things instead. Tim went to his first spin class today. It was quite tough, actually, because the instructor incorporated a lot of upper body work. Plus, she went over by at least 15 minutes. When we got home, I got ready for Halloween. I love Halloween so much!
In the upper right are the terra cotta pumpkins my mom bought me. And in the middle is a fiber-optic pumpkin that scares the crap out of Napoleon. Now that it's inflated, he ignores it. However, he is literally in the dog house. In addition to eating a brillo pad and some baked ziti that was dropped on the ground ...

Oh, Napoleon! Sigh. I think we had those when we were kids. They are fun!
I love your decorations! I meant to ask you if you were putting them up this weekend, during our run. Do you love Halloween so much since your bday is so close? :)
I loved seeing all the marathoners today and reading the Facebook posts! It made me feel good to be in the support role and not running, ha ha.
Nah, I like dressing up and eating candy!
I felt a bit jealous too! Seeing all those runners and their motivational spectators truly inspired me. Maybe next year? ;)

I have such a hard time spectating marathons (or being in the same city) and not wanting to run. This year I signed up to volunteer because I thought it might turn some of the race envy into a positive thing and it did ... a little! I was still wishing I could be out there running though.
I always get jealous when I'm spectating or in the same city as a marathon. I want to be out there running too! This year I signed up to volunteer for the Chicago marathon in hopes of turning my envy into positivity and it helped... a little bit. I still wished I could have been out there!
