Been missing the weekly running thread, so why not take the initiative?

Today was just an easy 3 miles around the neighborhood, shaking out the stiffness from yesterday's tough 9 miles (did the steepest hill in town into a stiff headwind).

We've just had a new local half-marathon announced, for Halloween morning. It's awesome-- I'd been looking for a half somewhere not to far away, and this is in the next town west from here. Awesome! And there's plenty of time to decide on a costume (maybe something of a punk-rock theme).
