My costume for today's Halloween Race.

Always a challenge finding a costume that works for running. DH has plans for this outfit tonight. Blush

The cape was not a problem. Before the race I tied my belt around the cape so it could not fly. I even ran with the mask because it was pretty cool. The boots fell down to my ankles though which I was glad they didn't inhibit my knees. I like this costume, it's waist slimming. Mrs Incrediable looked a little wide last year.

I kept my streak going too! 11 days, yahoo. Yup, back to the plan, 30-60 minutes of easy running everyday.

Let's hope I can keep up when I do Nobby's doubles. Smile

Actually I like doubles, haven't done them in a while, but have always taken rest days. My feet better toughen up. Shan, how many days in your streak now?

tomorrow makes 21 days. I think you will be amazed how good a recovery run - small maybe only 1 mile at 2-3 min slower than easy pace - feels when your legs are tired. My normal runs are in the 10-11:30 min/mile range and my recovery runs are 13-14 min/mile. I usually only go 1 mile. It gets the blood moving, but it's slow/easy enough that it doesn't make more trouble.

It was between this and Red Hot Mama. The boa might have been too much for running. I've yet to master running in boots. I should have used double stick tape on the insides. Batgirl got 4th/95 in A.G.

Well thanks, it felt crappy. 3 weeks post marathon is no time to run a 5K.

I think you need some caltraps in your Batgirl utility belt to slow down the competition. Batman would be proud.

Oh, I hear that...I'm doing a 5+ mile trail race in a couple of weeks...6 weeks out from the marathon. I'm still not sure how my body will handle that. Today's 10 hurt a little.
