Halloween Weekend, Senior Bowl 10k, and a Rock n Roll New Orleans Announcement...

How was your Halloween weekend? I had a blast!

We went to an awesome party at our friends Dan and Aprils house. It was a night full of fun, candy, and hayrides!

So as you can see above my husband took over our sons Transformer costume that I made. LOL! I had a blast making this costume for Willie to wear for about 10 minutes...

He loved it but I made it while he was at school, so I think I made it a little too big for him so he couldnt hold his candy bag open so he changed costumes with daddy. This is how he looked by the end of the night...

LOL LOVE THAT KID!

Anyways I managed to not get a pic of my oldest child #momfail. Actually he was too busy snagging loads of candy with his friend from all of the neighborhood people. He was wearing one of those full body suits in camo. It was hard to keep up with him. LOL!

My sweet daughter went as a rockstar girl. It was perfect for her. She wouldn't let me take her picture so I snapped this one real quick, lol...

On Saturday morning I got up super early to go cheer my BFF race wife Melanie, Coach Ali, and our friend Dana at the Senior Bowl 10k in downtown Mobile.

It was super cold downtown, I am not sure how these people were running around in shorts and tank tops. CRAZIES!!! Anyways it was awesome watching coach Ali kill the 10k in 36 minutes...

He had knee surgery last year and has come back stronger than ever this year. I'm super excited about our Ironman Augusta relay next year. Our team is going to kill it! Stay tuned...

I love seeing running friends at the start of races. I haven't attended a lot of local races lately because of traveling so much, so I have missed all my local peeps. Spotted Pat at the start line...

One last thing I wanted to tell you guys about is the Rock n Roll New Orleans people have released their headliner for the 2015 race on Jan 25th...
"The brothers KONGOS — multi-cultural, multi-faceted, multi-instrumentalists — craft a unique and irresistible sound spawned from shared DNA, diverse influences and spot-on melodic and lyrical sensibilities. On “Lunatic,” their 12-song Epic Records debut, the band’s talent shines on “Come With Me Now”; the title an impossible-to-resist aural summons, the rock-alt crossover tune kicking off with the accordion, jumping into foot-stomping, staccato rhythms, slide guitar, and soaring epic soundscapes reminiscent of U2. “I’m Only Joking,” whose lyrics hint at the album’s title, hits the mark with decisive tribal rhythms and Pink Floyd-esque mysterious modern rock. Thanks to an earlier self-release of “Lunatic,” KONGOS are already stars overseas, playing their numerous hits off “Lunatic” for crowds of up to 65,000 at South African festivals and touring the Republic with Linkin Park, and the UK and Europe with AWOLNATION and Dispatch. With a Feb-March North American tour with Airborne Toxic Event and alternative and rock radio hot on “Come With Me Now” and “I’m Only Joking,” (not to mention “Come With Me Now” in promos for NFL, NBA and ESPN), 2014 is quickly shaping up as the year the U.S. catches KONGOS fever."
