Pumpkin Pacer 2010

Sheila and I braved the cold weather this morning to do the Pumpkin Pacer 5K. It was a costume race in Deer Park. Deer Park is a little town north of Spokane. We decided to dress as 1/2 marathoners for lack of a better costume! We wore our shirts from Denver. I am not sure anyone would recognize the shirts as costumes. :-)Lots of people had the Halloween spirit and dressed up! Fun!

We wandered over to the start line!!! They marked all the miles with pumpkins that had the mileage painted on them. Cute! This is the Start pumpkin!
Cold wind = hats!
The crowds are heading to the start line!
Sheila spotted this sign. Funny. On the other side it says SAVE THE PUMPKINS!
Here we go! Look at the beautiful trees. It was an awesome fall day! Perfect!
We saw some scary sights along the way!
We even traveled by the cemetery!
Time to turn!
Mile 2 already! After doing 13 miles 2 weeks ago 2 miles feels like a warm up!
This street was going to be closed at 1PM for Pumpkin Lane. A festival in Deer Park. Love small towns!
Almost done! Just around the corner and we will be finished. Another fun run/walk completed!
The costumes stayed on even after the race!
These are the brightest shirts I have even seen. Love the design but the shirt is really bright. It is a good Halloween shirt!

Kristin and family live in Deer Park. We took a little side trip on the way home. Had to see Layne and Lucy. The first thing Layne wanted to show me is that she could drive the golf cart all alone. She did! She drove all around the house! Wow!

This picture is a bit blurry because she is moving.
Little Lucy has a cold but she was as happy as can be!

Another fun time with my training partner Sheila. We are going to have to get new dressers for all the shirts we have gotten. It is all about the shirt after all!
