"Chilly Bones" - Rosie and I participated in the Celebrity Ghosts 5K, Friday night, October 28, 7:30 p.m. in Uptown Westerville. The spooky event was part of the Westerville Visitors Bureau Halloween celebration during the "fourth Friday" street party held monthly! 181 runners and walkers donned their dead favorite celebrity costume and ran in a chilly 38 degree temp down cobblestone streets, eerie bike paths and dark river trails during the 3.1 event. I found some skeleton tights at Joann fabric that filled the bill for our costumes! One volunteer remarked as I ran past . . "You must be a ghost of a runner in winter" . . . so we proclaimed our celebrities to be: Marie-Louise Ledru, French, the first recorded woman to run an Olympic marathon in 1918 and "Spyros" Louis, a Greek water carrier, winner of the first Modern Day Olympic Marathon in 1896. Marie & Spyros would have been proud of their "boney" racing doubles! Fun time . . . . and our skeletons glowed in the dark! Happy Halloween!
