Scarecrow 5k

So the weekend after Diva's half I ran a local 5k in my fantastic Rock City skirt.  Amy from Rock City skirts sent me the skirt free to try out and I loved it.  Although I received the skirt for free the opinions about the skirt are my own.  It was the perfect little touch of sass and fun for my costume.  If I didn't want to run dressed in costume but wanted a cute skirt there were plenty of other options as well.

 The skirt has a thin elastic band that is comfy and fit nicely over my leggings.  I could have easily worn shorts under the skirt but it was quite chilly out for a mid-October morning.  I added my Mouse ears and some white gloves to complete the look.  The Rock City skirt made my costume easy-peasy.

 Since it was a race where costumes were encouraged the local MRTT group that I am part of decided to dress as super heroes.  They all looked great and I thought about other "costumes" for my skirt to keep in mind for future races.

 Our local Fleet Feet did another fantastic job as the timing crew of the event.  They did not host the event, just provided timing services.  The course was mostly out and back along the canal with a small portion on the road for the start.  It was a little narrow for most of the race but I had a fun time and just kept cruising at about 7:45 miles for the entire race.

 After I crossed the finish line I spotted my mom and she could pick me out of the crowd fairly easily with my skirt and ears.  Too bad my sneakers weren't yellow!

 Other costumes I came up with for the Minnie skirt are ice cream scooper gal.  Yup, standing outside with an ice cream scoop.  You could plus it up with a paper hat and a ice cream logo shirt or foam ice cream cone.

 Add a little apron and instant baker.  I would also opt for a chef hat if I had one.  A little waiter inspired too with some "be our guest" type service theme.

 Or, embrace your own super power and create a cape and be "super-you."  It could be the sock match finder, boo-boo kisser... whatever it is that you do and your family thinks you rock at.  Basically make up your own super hero.

 Rock City skirts made pulling together a last minute costume super easy and cute with the few things I had sitting around my house.  Can't wait to try out some other skirts and see what I can create.
