Ghosts of Holidays Past!


So, another year has passed.  Each and every year we all have our own special days and events we look forward to.  For some it is our Birthday!  For others it may be a  particular National holiday, like Christmas or the 4th of July.  Lately my favorite Holiday is Halloween.  Our new favorite thing is a race called the Wicked 10K! In 2011 we traveled to Virginia Beach for a foot race called the Wicked 10K.  This amounts to a total mileage of 6.2 miles; not too far and not too short.  I must compliment the race organizers since the entire event was perfect, fun and very well done!!
We stayed at a Hotel right on the beach (it was the off season after all!)
 And toured the strip on our non- race time.  Our favorite thing was running the race to see all of the people's crazy costumes!!  The centar pictured to the left was our favorite costume.  We hope to be able to run this race again soon.  Out of all of the races we have done, this on rates in the top two; of course Disney is the # 1 race organizer we have had the privilege to experience.  In 2012 Megan and I ran our first half-marathon in Florida at the Disney Princess Run.  Yes, there were many princesses in that race, but most of them were glowing!


The following year we participated in a local event called the Pumpkin Pedelar!  This was an Asheville based event where we were pedaling our tandem bicycle, in costume, with a couple hundred other people.  What a fun event that was to be in Asheville with a couple hundred other crazies on bikes that were just as thrilled as we were to be in costume and spread awareness about people on bikes everywhere.  This past year for Halloween we went to several events in costume, but neither involved getting to worked up like a 10k or pedaler, but each of them was fun and entertaining in its own right.


 So this year, 2014, we plan to run the Wicked 10K again and will absolutely attend the Monsters Ball afterward!
