*sigh* 60 and raining here.
I "get" to sit and wait for the non-existent trick or treaters instead of going for a run.4 -

Sooooooooooooo much candy.2 -
No run today, so I guess that’s it for the month. I’m really working hard to keep it together right now so we can get this house deal done. I think we’re in the home stretch and I’m super stressed out but trying to go easy on myself. I guess running would be better than lots of napping and illicit cigarettes but so it goes.6

No run today. Studying for my biology midterm next week, doing strength training and yoga, then playing bioshock to get into the spooky mood. That or titanfall 2, because I love that game.4

3 easy miles. That's it for me for the month, and also my last run before my half.
I'm worried I'm coming down with something, my blood sugar was unexpectedly high today and I felt stressed - heart rate and BP also higher than usual.
I got to be a magical unicorn today though! I ran wearing this:
It was totally worth it, dozens of people smiled at me.14 -

None here. We have a drizzle during Trick or Treat hours, and I'm not in a prime location for kids anyway. But I knew about the location, so I have a limited amount of candy to deal with in November.0 -

This is our first Halloween here so we did not know what to expect. My son gave out candy by the handfuls to the 6 that came, so they got rewarded for making it to our house in the drizzle at least.2 -
32 here. The mini Pla-doh tubs were a huge hit. Two little girls shrieked with delight. 1 little boy was so excited he told his mom that it was the best Halloween ever. I had granola bars for the older kids but they wanted Pla-doh as well.
Several times a group of little kids would ask about my foot and said they hoped that I get better soon. So sweet!
And of course Kody was a big hit as he had to check out everyone who came.14 -
@7lenny7 I love that you had pla-doh! If I handed out anything I'd go with something like that or candy free of the top 8 allergens. Teal pumpkin stuff.

Ugh, October was not what I expected for the month before my half. I need to be better at pushing through exhaustion (one missed week). The other missed weeks were beyond my control (glutening and the death of my dad) so I have to give myself leniency there. I did get in a few runs during those occasions but not what was scheduled. Onto November!9 -
@marisap2010 - so glad you are ok!
@MobyCarp - love those trees!
@7lenny7 - love the pla-doh treats! When I was a kid one of the best treats was from a neighbor who owned the local toy store -they gave out balsa wood plane kits!
@rheddmobile - love your unicorn!
@RunsOnEspresso - you definitely need to give yourself some slack for October and maybe even November depending on how you feel! Hang in there! You will bounce back!3 -
I think we had one kid who yoinked from the bowl I left out because our neighbours got 3 kids... 2 of whom were mine. Our neighbours are great. They had special bags with all kinds of fun stuff made up for the boys. They always make an effort to decorate but most years my kids are their only trick or treaters because of the location (middle of a condo complex).4

I forgot when I logged last. I have my tally on my phone...to recap 50 mile goal for October.
October 5...5.23 miles
October 8...10.23 miles
October 13...10.26 miles
October 16...4.04 miles
October 17...5.01 miles
October 23...11.02 miles
October 27...12.09 miles
Total is 57.88 miles
Goal is 50 miles
Strong run on October 23rd and was pretty happy with it. The weather has been cool and the runs more enjoyable due to the brilliant Fall colors.
The run on October 27th was more of a disaster. I had a weird bladder control issue and had to duck behind some bushes. I still finished my run. I hadn't had that happen in a couple of years. Very embarrassing though.
My half is this Saturday...the Monumental. I really am not anticipating a PR or anything...just want a strong run...somewhat around the 2:45 mark. Picking up race packet tomorrow.

@rheddmobile I *love* the unicorn outfit!!
0 kids visiting my apartment last night. That makes 0 Halloween visits in total in my life. Lol, I guess my location is off by a couple ten thousands of kilometres
So I could have gone running, but I postponed it to tonight. I had a doctors appointment in the morning and had to go there without breakfast. I don't understand people who can survive without breakfast. I was starving by the time the blood test was done! I had some protein shake, an apple and orange juice waiting in my car, but I didn't even make it that far, I came accross a vending machine first and grabbed some emergency chocolate. And spend the rest of the day eating rubbish... So I should have gone for a run in the evening, but felt kind of meh, and only did an half hour strength training video instead.
Adding to that the weekend that I didn't run due to a big family event, and I only have 127.5 km for October, instead of my goal of 140km. ... new month, new luck, let's try 140km again in November!5 -

Dang kids really are lazy these days!1 -
It poured down rain all last night, so no trick or treaters - usually we get upwards of 200 - what am I going to do with all his candy?
Actually we did have one - during a lull in the rain the next door neighbor's little girl dashed over.3 -
We had about 20 trick or treaters but way less than normal so I've got a ton of candy left over. Meant to bring it to school today to give out to my students but forgot it. Oh well, tomorrow!
@7lenny7 - love the playdoh idea! Kody greeting the kids, how cute! My dog was barking non-stop at them. He's a little dog and loves everyone except anyone who knocks on the door.
