Good Morning!
Saturday was the Halloweenathon and it felt so good to get out for a race.
Katie and I ran the 10K which was 2 loops around The Reserve Golf Course, beautiful! We started off a little strong and decided to slow it down around mile 2. Katie is just coming off of surgery and no running for the last month so we didn't want to burn out too fast. This run was just for fun and celebrate Halloween!
The girls ran the Casper Dash which was so much fun for the little kids.
Katherine decided seconds before the gun went off that she wanted to race too. She had said the whole day before and morning of that she wasn't going to run. Then she heard they were passing out candy at the finish and she was sold!
All of the kids got a little goody bag of candy and a ribbon. I am so proud of both of them for getting out there and running hard by themselves.
I love the races put on by Uberthons, they are such an encouraging race organization. This isn't a great picture but they were giving these necklaces to all of the first time 5K racers that day. I love that they were celebrating all of the first time racers!
It was actually a really sturdy and beautiful charm I was surprised how much I liked it. I was wishing it was my first 5K again!
They also handed out these medals to all of the 5K, 10K and 15K finishers, they even glow in the dark.
I would definitely do the Halloweenathon again, it was a great event. Like always everything was really organized from parking to packet pick up. They even had a nacho bar at the end! It felt so good to be out running with Katie again and even better watching my girls run their race. I love that Uberthons has a kids race and it doesn't cost anything extra, thank you for that! It is so important we encourage our kids to be healthy by keeping active and having fun doing it.
I love that there was different races all throughout the day and there was a time that would work for everyone. There was a covered area with a lot of tables and chairs with heaters to keep warm while we waited which was nice, it was a little colder than I had expected.
The next event put on by Uberthons is the Turkeython that is held on Thanksgiving morning at Washington Square. Check it out!
Enjoy The Run!
**Thank you so much Uberthons for the race entry for Katie and me, we had such a great time! Looking forward to your next event! Of course my opinion is my own, I can't speak for Katie but she looked like she was having fun! Plus Uberthons does a great job so it isn't hard to have a great time at their events.**
