Halloween Hustle

He's at it again! Eric entered another race, only this time he stepped it up and ran a 10k! HOLY COW!!! The Halloween Hustle took place last Saturday morning. Eric didn't invite me to run this one with him, which is a good thing because I would have refused. A 5k is enough (too much actually) for me. I was an excellent cheerleader though :)

This race was much smaller than the last one, but it made for better pictures. It looks like Eric is looking right at the camera, but he's really smiling at me (I was standing behind the camera man). Everyone dressed up for Halloween, so Eric decided to be LeBron James.
Starting the race off.
 I was cozy inside playing Scrabble on the iPad while Eric ran 3 miles, then I decided to come outside and snatch some candids of Eric (these aren't my pics, but they were free and much better quality!).  
Mid-race action!
 I love this picture. Eric looks so victorious with the bell tower in the background!
Eric did fantastic at the race! His goal was to finish under an hour, and he finished in 58 minutes. This is even better because technically this course was .2 miles longer than a real 10k. I think he's crazy for choosing to run 6.2 miles (or in this case 6.4) but I'm so proud of him for finishing. He now qualifies to start at the front of the pack for the Disneyland Half Marathon next September!

Way to go Eric! He doesn't even look like he's struggling. He looks almost at peace when he's running. Strange man.

Good job Eric. Nice time. I'm excited for the Disney 1/2 marathon. Actually I'm excited to watch you run. Cindy and I and the fam will cheer you on :-)
