Halloween is always a fun time of year. We get together with friends and walk around the neighborhood. This year one of my neighbors had the street blocked off (at both ends). This made it easier for all of the kids to run across the street from house to house. Once we circled the entire neighborhood, we came back to our street and the block party began. There was so much food. We stayed out way too late, but had lots of fun.
Sydney was a pirate, and Jack was Iron Man. LJ decided to go as a football player since his friend was dressing up too. He didn't have to try too hard to put together his costume. I think that LJ JUST wanted the candy. The kids really love to get as much candy as they can.
Running like the wind...
Ok, most of you know that I am training to run the PF Changs Marathon in January. I have been training with my neighbor, Becky. This will be my first; however it will be Becky's second. I can't believe what an awesome running partner she is. When we decided to run the full marathon, she printed out a training schedule and away we went. We have been working so hard. I hope getting up at 4:15 am to get ready for our runs is worth it. We are now up to 18 miles (2 hours and 49 minutes) which we just ran this morning. Since we start when it is still dark, we thought that we better purchase some headlights. We laugh and wonder how much more stuff we can carry with us while running. We wear reflectors, carry mace spray (watch out - we know how to use it), water/gatorade, and gel refuel stuff. Here we are with our headlights on. We look like dorks, but they are so cool. They really help us see. While it is dark, we have been very careful running. We went through one part of the canal (by Gilbert downtown) that had some pretty bad construction going on. I am surprised that we didn't break anything or fall in a hole. Here we are with the before and after pictures from this morning. Do we look tired? Thanks Becky for keeping me on track and getting me back to the house in one piece. You are AWESOME!

You are such a great running partner! Thanks for making me wake up at 4:15 on our running days. It wouldn't be worth it if I wasn't running with the worlds BEST running partner :)
