Going uptown

I ran the Uptown Rhodes Race 5K today, but unlike other years, this year the race was Halloween themed. In fact, it was now called the Uptown Rhodes Race at the Haunted Castle.
That was a bit of a stretch, since Rhodes Hall, which does look a bit like a castle, wasn't decorated for the holiday.
But folks came out in costumes and it was fun.

Scooby Doo and crew!

 The race has always been dog friendly, since it was started by a local guy who really loved his dog Georgia. So Angela brought Miss Lucy Liu, who was all dressed up as a witch!

 I ran the race with running buddies Angela and Erin, and, of course, Lucy.

Bad shadows, but all of us are ready to run

The race is pretty hilly and runs around the Ansley Golf Course and neighborhood. This really was not my best 5K time. We walked a lot of it, even though Lucy was ready to run the whole thing!

Hey look! It's us!

Proof we did do some running on the course. Ha!

Not only were there race results winners (which I did not win) there were costume contest winners. Guess who took top prize for dog costume??

Lucy wins top prize!

It was a lot of fun to run the Uptown Rhodes Race again this year, and the Halloween theme made it more interesting. Maybe next year I'll dress up too!
