Yesterday Dustin and I did the Monster Mash 10K race (6.2 miles) at the Sam Houston Race Park where they have horse and greyhound races. We've been wanting to go watch one of those races, but just haven't done so. Well we got our first peek of the raceway and the building with its many stations to place your 'wager'. Not bet. Wager. Sounds better I guess.
Anyways, we didn't race on the track; the start and finish line was right outside the front doors of the arena. We said good lucks and goodbyes as the race started and we both promised each other we would burn some rubber!
Well, we didn't burn rubber, we incinerated it!! I came first place at 47:13 in the Female 24-29 and Dustin came in second place at 40:53 in the Male 24-29!! Dustin's time was only 15 seconds off from the first place winner. He was so close! Both our finish times were some of the best we've ever had! I know mine was!
These are our Frankenstein awards!! They fit perfectly with our bobble-head Franken-soap dispenser.
Our pictures were taken during the race, and getting our awards, so when those are posted online I'll put them here.
Our Halloween scary faces.
We ran our hardest and felt like puking after crossing the finish line, but it was oh so fun! The weather was cold, but the sun warmth came out after the race and warmed us up a tiny bit in time for the awards ceremony.
We are definitely doing this race next year again! You can dress up everyone and even run with your stroller. There were tons of little kids and adults in awesome costumes.

And you have the most beautiful running face. I have seen other pictures of people running and they usually look like they are hot and exerting themselves, even making funny faces. You are like a running model. You kill me!
