Saturday morning Peter and I headed out to Centreville here in NoVA.
Peter was all set to run the annual Blood and Guts race, a 5 km race that'll take the participants thru obstacles of different kinds. The runners will also be soaked in "blood", run thru mud, crawl thru pits of "blood" and "intestines", and you will be chased by zombies to top it all off.
Doesn't it sound like fun!
Peter ran with his niece Mia, and Mia's cheer team!
I did not run. No! I brought the Canon and shot some pics instead. That works better for me.
The whole cheer-team thought the race was a lot of fun.
The weather was great Saturday. Warm, sunny and calm.
What can I say? The weather right now is pretty ideal. During the day it can reach temps to around 20 degrees C (68-70 F). At night it gets cold.
When I take my PWs in the mornings it is usually around 2-10 degrees C (33-48 F). No, the cold does not bother me, I love it!
I just dress a bit warmer. And, no, so far I have not wore mittens, but I do wear a scarf, jacket and I have long pants on these days. Pretty soon it is time for mittens and beanie as well, but not quite yet.
Today, we are promised 26 degrees C (80F) and sunny conditions. It'll be unseasonably warm, in other words.
It is Fright Week!
Halloween is upon is! Loads and loads of fun ahead!
It is time to buy some candy. It is also time to carve pumpkins (I'll carve mine on Thursday).
Halloween is on Friday! I hope we'll get loads of "Trick or Treaters"!
Yes, I'll dress up as The Queen of Halloween again on Friday. I am sure the hubby will dress up as The Zombie Killer again. That is just how we roll in this "haunted house".
Have a good Tuesday!!

Peter found a pretty girl to snuggle up with!!
And, they are off!!
Peter is about to get chased by a zombie woman!
Thru a pile of goo....
The "blood and intestines" were spaghetti and red colored water, mohohahaha!! Peter's nice Mia seems to hesitate a bit!!
The team after the fact!
And here, during the race you slide down straight into a mud pit.

OMG jag måste måste se till att handla på mig lite godis tills fredag. Sedan ska vi karva vår pumpa också torsdagkväll. Alltid kul med Halloween även om det inte alls är lika stort här eller samma coola stämning här som i USA.
Kramar till dig.
Ja, visst är det! Det finns andra, mer avancerade zombie lopp också. Ett där man måste vara över 16, och blir du tagen av en zombie "förvandlas" du själv till zombie och måste börja jaga de löpare som ännu "klarat" sig. Jag vet att P vill springa det loppet också, Nästa år kanske?
Loppet i lördags var en kul grej för P. Nu är han ännu mer säker på att han vill springa ett Tough Mudder race, vi f¨r väl se :-)
Jag med, jag har inte heller köpt ngt godis än. Det går bli imorrn!
Förstår att Halloween är mer nedtonat hos er. Men KUL att den firas, och att den firas RÄTT!!
AM:
JA! Det borde ni springa i er familj. De har säkert lopp i CT också!
join in next year!
Eller hur. SÅ kul.
HAHA, jag med. Personligt rekord :-)))
Ja, nu på fredag är det Halloween, undrar om det kommer göra skillnad att det är en fredag. Mer eller mindre besök? Kanske veckordagen inte spelar så stor roll trots allt utan att vädret är en mer sänkare eller höjare? De två senaste åren har vi haft kanonväder på halloween men nu på fredag ska det vara busväder (haha) och regn så har känslan att det kan göra det mattas av lite. Vi får se!
Kom just hem från Target med en laddning godis, där var det verkligen glest nu.
Loppet ser verkligen kul ut också, även där hade de ju inte snålat på "äckelheterna" utan verkligen coolt med alla detaljer och hinder.
Kram!!
KRAM Anna
Haha, ja sant!!
Fniss.
:))
Anne:
TACK!!
DET var så roligt! Så roligt att klä ut sig sådär en gåg om året. Grymt roligt!!
Fredag Halloween, ja. Undrar också om det kommer att bli mer besök än vanligt?
Regn mattar definitivt ner besökarna, det vet jag. Kyla också.
Ska till Target imorrn. Är det månne för sent? HAR inte en enda godisbit hemma. OH the horror!! Så jag hoppas att Target har :-)
HAHA, loppet ja. Nä, de sparade inte på gräsligheterna där heller. SÅ KUL!!!
Kramar!!
Komiskt.
Detta lopp var ju mest på kul. Tror inte ens man tog reda på tid och sånt.
Kram!!
Härligt med sådan samvaro. Härliga temperaturer, men 26 grader, här har vi modesta 17,5 i går och dag tio grader svalare, det svänger snabbt mellan temperaturskillnaderna kruxet är väl att när det väl blir kallt så blir det iskallt och vinter på en gång.
Kramar
