Wicked Halloween Run 2017 Photos .8 Mile Walk The 2017 Wicked Halloween Run was my second run and my first hometown run. I was able to walk to the start from our home in the morning.  I dressed up in my Halloween costume of Harley Quinn.  It’s a costume I’ve been putting a lot of time into for the past month.  I haven’t gotten so involved in a Halloween costume for years.  I’ve always like Harley Quinn and her colors.  It wasn’t just a one store and done costume.  I saw Andrea and her family.  There were so many runners dressed in costumes when I got to downtown.  I tried to take as many pictures as I could.  I loved the Katy Perry left sharks and The Pope.  It was hard running in a full costume.  I ran past our home on the course. That was my favorite part.  This was my first costume run and first run with friends. I went to breakfast with Andrea's family at Bode’s after the run.  It was great. I met her grandma that runs and got to talk to her grandpa for awhile about his life.

   The Zombie Dash 2017 Photos 142 Mile Drive First 5K!! First zombie run!! I found the Zombie Dash when we were living in Grand Rapids in 2016. I stumbled upon a bunch of zombies downtown one night and asked what was going on. I told Jason that next year I was going to run that race and I registered for it a month later. I walked a lot but still managed a fairly decent first 5K time with no running history (No cross country or track in high school)  It was not as scary as I thought it would be, but some zombies did make me jump in the dark. I was hooked after The Zombie Dash.  I knew I wanted to come back next year, but I also wanted to keep running 5Ks.  It was a mental and physical boost.  Grand Rapids Page
