Halloween Hustle 5k and a Winner

I ran a fun run today and had a lot of fun.  I ran with another nurse that I work with, her husband and one of her friends.  We were the three pigs and the big bad wolf.  We won the best costume prize.  You can't see it but we also had little piggy tails on. Dwight, the big bad wolf, chased us the whole way. We finished in 25:10.  Not bad for just running it for fun.  The weather was a perfect 48 degrees with a slight wind.

 We named ourselves Prosciutto, Pancetta, and  Serrano.  All types of cured ham, in case you didn't know ;)
My older sister ran it too, but she didn't dress up and I was really bad about taking pictures apparently as those were the only ones I got! They drew for door prizes and I ended up with I sweat shirt from the local high school cross country team.  It is warm and has a hood.  I was glad to have won it as the weather took a turn for the worse and is now super windy.  I ran three miles before the race to get in a total of 6.1 miles for the day.  

My kids thought I should take a picture of the kitten in the pumpkin bucket. I don't think Princess Lollipop Unicorn Rainbow (yes that is the poor boy kittens name) was as thrilled about being in the bucket as they were that he was in there.

What is the best thing you have ever dressed up as for Halloween?

My husband and I went as belly dancers once. I don't know where the pictures went though.  I am not a huge Halloween fan though as I don't really have any super cool ones.
