Roxymama's 5k to Marathon, Time to Collect Another Castle

[DopeyBadger]

Remember too that cold water poured on the head and skin can be as valuable as actually drinking it.

@pixarmom asked about my outfit for Sunday. I think I've narrowed it down to this. Tbd on final tank and may just only wear the shorts.
But sparkle visor making its debut!

I also just got my Halloween costume in the mail. You've heard of Tinkerbell; how about RunnerBelle?
Here's some terrible selfies.


I tried to get the bow in this pic but you'll just have to believe me that it matches.


Just glad it fits

In case I don't get to check in later after work, have a fantastic and fun race tmw!!!!!!!
You're going to rock it roxymama!!!

 

[ZellyB]

Love the outfits! Especially RunnerBelle!!

 

[FredtheDuck]

Just wanted to drop in and say have fun tomorrow, and good luck! Can’t wait to hear all about it.

 

[Ariel484]

Good luck tomorrow!! You're gonna crush it!

 

[roxymama]

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts! And @Ariel484 love the muppet gif!!!!

The expo today was inside Soldier Field where the Chicago Bears play. It's fitting because the hottest race I've ever ran was the Bears 5k that ended on this field. And boy was it hot today.

Ignore my big ol thumb in hubby's pic


Roxykiddo was most impressed with the giant turkey trot inflatable


I think if there ever was a 5k where you had had to carry a 4 yr old, hubby may podium.

I've retyped this last part three times and it keeps erasing so I'll be brief.
Expo stuff!

Pacers!

Bribery baked goods for nana who is sleeping over tonight.

Fun expo location!

Sleep well tonight and good luck tomorrow!! You’ll do great!

 

[DopeyBadger]

Have fun and enjoy the victory lap!

 

[pixarmom]

Love the expo update and the outfit post! Given the weather, I'm with you on the possibility of just shorts rather than the running skort. I ran the Rock N Sole in June with the skort and ended up actually making a knot in the skirt to tie it up.

Run happy tomorrow! Looking forward to the report!!

 

[SarahDisney]

You may be asleep by now, but in case you see this before the race ... have a great race! I can't wait to hear/read all about it!!

 

[ZellyB]

You are going to do great!! I can't wait to read all about it!!

 

[FFigawi]

Have a great race today!

 

[roxymama]

That race kicked my bootie. But I did it. Didn't PR but came close. Could have but I'd pass out probably. Hooooooo Boyyyyyyyy.
Waiting for hubby. Think good thoughts as it's getting hotter.



I'm the color of my visor, haha!

 

[pixarmom]

Yay!!! Just returned from our 10K, entered 18-yo's proof of time and stopped by to see how it went for you! I'm sure you will report soon, but I thought weather was better than expected (although my son would not agree!)
