This past weekend, we laced up once again for one of our favorite fall traditions, the Minneapolis Halloween 5K! It’s usually one of my best races of the year, and while I didn’t run much this time around, I still managed to beat nearly 300 runners out of almost 1,400 participants. Not bad for a casual cruise!
The weather was classic late-October: crisp and cool. Eric wore shorts...a bold move that quickly turned chilly. But we scored a win before the race even started by discovering a warm indoor bathroom and a comfy chair to relax inside while we waited. Mental note: definitely remembering that for future races.
The race itself was full of festive energy. While we didn’t dress up, plenty of runners did and the costumes were adorable. My favorite? A group of six girls running together as a caterpillar. It was ridiculously cute.
After crossing the finish line, we celebrated the best way we know how: bagels and a well-earned nap. Because nothing says “successful race day” like carbs and cozy blankets. And of course, we couldn’t leave Reba out of the fun — she got to wear the race medal and looked absolutely regal (and slightly confused). Already looking forward to next year’s spooky sprint!
