Running 13.1 as the Very Hungry Caterpillar

My friend Maegan offered two free entries to the Seattle Half Marathon to Anna and me at the last minute on Friday night. By Saturday evening, we had pulled together a hilarious costume: I grabbed this tunnel on Facebook Marketplace on my way to take my folks to the airport Saturday morning and then picked up a tiny hat previously worn by a friend’s almost-2-year-old for Halloween. Fun was had by all!

We had some inspiration from this hilarious video: 

And then we came up with this: 





We strapped the tunnel on with our running backpacks and it held up great for 13.1 miles!

The antennae were a little floppy, but these were not details I was paying attention to while running 13.1 miles with a tunnel strapped to my back  😂




running into Erika (from Vision 16) during the race and at the finish! 


Anna ROCKED this thing. She's been climbing more this fall in Alaska and has only gone running a few times. Quite the ramp up to just hop into a half marathon today. Way to go, Anna!! 


Ideas for next year: 😂
