I definitely earned my candy on this Halloween! To start the morning I ran the Carrera de los Muertos 5k in DTLA.

There were soooo many people! Everyone was rockin the sugar skull face paint and flowers in their hair. It was cool to see so many people so into it.

The starting line had beautiful dancers and a little ceremony type of thing. It was pretty cool!

5ks are so fun because they fly by! Unfortunately my Nike app didn’t start so I couldn’t get my exact time. I was close to 24 minutes though which makes me super happy! I used to do 5ks close to 30 minutes. Running long distance has definitely helped me improve my speed because 3 miles feels like nothing compared to what I normally put my body through.

My friend Rob and some other peeps from Rundalay were there. My beautiful cousin aka twin came down to visit for the weekend! She was my cheerleader at the finish line. She got her face painted while she waited so she could rock the sugar skull look too.

I was going to get my face painted to match Alicia's but they were on break when I finished up. UGH! Had to DIY it with eyeliner and eye shadow. I think I did a pretty good job! This is how we showed up to my POP Pilates class. We scared a few people when they saw the not so normal half of our face.

After scaring people at the gym we washed up and threw on our matching flannel pjs and decided to go to the store like that. We were going for the twinning lumberjack costume. I loved having a lazy Halloween for once! I'd definitely do the Carerra de los Muertos 5k again. It was a lot of fun!

In LOVE & Sweat,

Lexi
