This is a sad year people. An email went out a couple days ago that because of lack of interest, no one was dressing up for Halloween this year. WTF?! I, of course, immediately sent an email and said that I was dressing up! Two other people I know are going to dress up, but it isn’t the same if everyone doesn’t do it, you know?
I still plan on taking lots of pictures so you’ll have to come back tomorrow to see what I dress up as this year!
So we are in the home stretch of my 170 mile challenge! When Helen left a comment on yesterday’s post, it never dawned on me that because of the hurricane Sandy, the New York Marathon might be cancelled or post-poned. I couldn’t imagine preparing for months for an event and then have it cancelled. My fingers are crossed for you Jacky!
So today was my 2-a day! I was hoping to divide my bike ride evenly between 8 miles before work and 8 miles during lunch. No such luck – the traffic sucked ass, and I only got just over 5 miles in before I had to head to work.
An unusual Biz breakfast is ahead – Carnation Instant Breakfast made with soy milk!
I was actually quite surprised that this held me through my lunch time workout – 12.3 miles baby!
17.12 miles done and done. Now I have 50 miles to go before Friday – the race is still on! 
Lunch was leftover chicken tortilla soup, still good, I think it gets better the longer it sits, with some tostada nachos on the side.
I can’t be the only one that watches food network while they work out, am I? Although the time that I usually go is either Sandra Lee, Melissa D’arabian, or Anne Burrell. Sandra Lee kinda gets on my nerves, although I do like her money saving meals. Melissa is okay to watch, although she’s sometimes almost TOO perky? And Anne just thinks she’s all that and a bag of chips. And I can’t stand her hair.
Well the other day Melissa had a recipe for a three cheese Philly cheesesteak that looked really good. I chose to make a chicken version though since chicken cutlets were on sale last weekend. I liked the sandwich, but think its needs more seasoning. Tony liked it though! We both only ate half of sammies too – they were big! You can find Melissa’s version here.
So this morning is going to be a race. I have to pack up my costume, bring all my pot luck food, get to the gym and hopefully (yikes!) bike 16 miles before work, and then relax once I get to the office at 8:45. 
And flashback – Hannah’s first Halloween costume!
Hannah was 7 months old – only 3 months later and she was walking no problem! Wow, does time fly?
Question of the Day: What was your favorite costume you ever wore? I have to say I was a hobo for three years straight. My mom put Vaseline on my chin and lip and put coffee grounds on it so it looked like I had stubble. It made it difficult to eat candy, but I loved how it looked!
Have a spooktacular day!
Biz-I made that sandwich and used chicken also (no beef in the house) and I must say it was delicious. I didn’t use as much cheese, since I ran out, and it made 3 good sized sammies. Good recipe!
Hannah’s first Halloween? SoDANG cute! I die..
Happy Halloween! I was a big fan of my costume this year…I was a deviled egg (wore cream colored shirt and pants with a yellow egg yolk glued to my shirt, plus devil horns, devil tail, and pitchfork). Fun!
happy halloween! my mom always made really elaborate costumes for me and my sisters. some of my favorites were genie, Rainbow Brite, Pippi Longstocking, and the Little Mermaid. i rocked that red wig like no other elementary school kid!!
I was telling my friends at work that you were a hobo, more times than not, and I was always a princess! Hope your party is fun at work!
