If you guessed they cause stress and exhaustion, you would be correct.
So Friday night BF and I got out of the house and went to dinner at Parasson’s Italian Restaurant in Stow. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants!
I ordered the baked ravioli and I was so immersed in my food
that I couldn’t tell you what BF got
{but I’m pretty sure it was rigatoni something or other}.
We made it an early night cause Saturday morning was race day!
I headed to Hartville, Ohio for their 1st Annual Cannonball 5k Run!
While I have been training all summer, I was terrified to run this race.
The last race I ran was in 2007.
Plus BF was not running this race with me, so I was flying solo
{he badly sprained his ankle so he’s been laid up from it for two weeks}!
{even if I almost threw up at the finish line – ha! That’s no joke.}
I spent the afternoon in a food coma and sleeping.
It was just what my body needed!
After I recovered, I threw together some gluten-free cupcakes and put myself together for a Halloween party at the neighbors house.
{cupcakes}
For the party, I dressed up as a flapper
{great excuse to wear a dress I bought from Express}
and BF dressed up as a Biggest Loser contestant, post weight loss!
{all dolled up!}
I ended up taking my wig off shortly after some young kid
asked me if I was Lady Gaga…
He had no clue what a flapper was. Oh well.
Sunday I caught up on all many of the things on my to-do list!
Unfortunately not everything got crossed off my list,
but such is life!
What fun did you get yourself into this weekend?
Congrats on the race! 4th place is something to be proud of! I would have died after a mile! 🙂
4th place is very impressive! Great job!
Great job on the race, that's awesome! Your costumes are wonderful, looks like a great time!
Love your costumes and that is too funny that he thought you were Lady Gaga, kids nowadays. 🙂
Great costume!!
Awesome job with the race! Congrats! Hope you have a great week. 🙂

cute costumes! I was thinking about being a working box of wine, but dressing up seems like too much work.
CONGRATS ON YOUR RACE!!!!! 4th place? Holy Moly!!! That is AWESOME!!! Your time is also crazy impressive. I was pleased with my 31 minutes. Someday I will get in the 20s 🙂 Oh, and seriously…who doesn't know what a flapper is????
