Penguin 5K

This past weekend, I participated in the Pineapple Classic 5K.  I'm not really a runner but this race had obstacles and seemed like fun.  It was a team race and we could wear silly costumes.  My team: penguins.


Despite having a bad cold, the race went well.  For our penguin costumes, we wore black sweats with pillowcase bellies (all from the thrift store).  My awesome husband made us all feet and beaks out of orange craft foam.  Elastic and staples was all that was required.


Cute huh?  We got a bit dirty and lost three feet total by the end of the race.  Oh well.

    That is hilarious! I have seen the races where people dress up--I always wonder how people can run in some of their outfits!
