I am sooooo behind on my Blogging.. Going out of town for a day and pushing long run to Sunday makes it TOUGH.. Full Running Blog tomorrow, going all the way back to last Wednesday...UGH.. Will include some awesome Fall pictures from Wilsonville, Oregon yesterday.
Since ALL of you have waited so patiently here is the BIG REVEAL of my Halloween Half Marathon Costume...
Here is a HINT.. OK a really really obvious hint. Once I had the idea of a Giraffe I perused the Internet for ideas and came across the most amazing and ADORABLE Giraffe hat made with love by Kristina at Tangle Wit Designs.
