Some running, Tons of food, Two spoiler alerts.

Let's backpedal to Friday -- Halloween Eve at my school.  Work husband and I had some Frozen funsies!:)  It helped that I have blonde hair and blue eyes.


And this is what happens when you ask a seventh grader to take a picture for you.


Since we were in charge of the Haunted House in the gym, I knew we probably wouldn't have a chance to eat breaky...and maybe lunch...so I did the right thing and picked up some Halloweenie donuts for us to nom on.



I can't discuss how many pieces of candy I was given.  And ate.


It's always nice when your students think of you, though.


I rushed home right after work, packed (quickly --- I left essentials behind...) and set off to pick up Harry.  I'm not gonna lie:  I was ridiculously exhausted already at this point.  I was basically fueled by Halloween candy, and still had a bit of a drive ahead of me.  I was lucky, though, because Harry and I agreed on a spot to eat almost as soon as we checked into our hotel room.  Downtown MKE was so quiet...it was strange...

Build-A-Burger was the spot we chose, and it was DELISH.



After dinner, we hit the room to get to snoozin'.  I was freezing and wanted to warm up, so I hopped in the shower.  The hotel we were staying at had this lovely massaging soap.


Back to Build-A-BREAKFAST to start our Saturday.  Chicken & waffles ===== yes.


We hit up the expo for Packet Pickup, and saw MO.  She was running the full marathon, and had a sub-4:00 goal.

SPOILER ALERT #1 ----------> SHE KILLED IT!


Lunch happened.  I wasn't about to hold back at this point.


I took a glorious nap after going to the mall to find Harry and I some last minute things.  Like Harry some running shorts.  And socks.  And sunglasses for me.  We left a lot of stuff at home.  #oops

We went out to dinner with Jennifer, Eric, and their friend Chris.  Pizza and beer is always a good idea the night before a race, didn't you know?

We got back to the hotel and I slept like garbage.  I was more worried about the time change and my alarm not waking me up more than anything.  Plus my back hurt.  I had nothing to worry about, as my iPhone was smart enough to change when it was supposed to, and I got up seriously ready for some caffeine.  A little while later, Harry and I hopped on the shuttle to take us to the start line.  And in true Harry & Tiff race fashion, we were running late.:)  We had the whole bus to ourselves!


The race deets will come later this week; I want to see if they got any good pictures of me, haha!

SPOILER ALERT #2 ----------------> 1:58:46.  Not too bad for not training for this "event".


As for the rest of the trip:

Delicious coffee.


Delicious sushi.


Delicious beer.  No, not all of that is for us.  I picked up some booze that isn't sold past the Wisconsin border for some friends.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AS FOR THIS WEEK, I'm dealing with diet changes.  I'm DONE with sugar, guys.  I have stuff to train for and can't put crap in the tank, so I'm breaking up with all of the sweets.


Also?  THIS.


Have a WONDERFULLY WEIRD TIME-CHANGED MONDAY, friends!


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did you spend your Halloween weekend?

Do you do well with the time change?
-PARENTS OF SMALL CHILDREN ---- I bet not, huh?:(

How often do you go on vacay?  Is it mostly about food like it is for us?:)
