I think I've found my first 5k race!

Thanks to Laura and J-9, I really, really, REALLY want to do the Superhero 5k in Asheville on Nov. 8th. C'mon, it's sponsored by Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company. What's not to like?

I've still got my old "Bat Mel" cape, but the shirt is long gone, as are the black JNCO's with the orange stripe down the sides that I used to wear with it. Of course, those heavy JNCO's wouldn't be too practical for a 5k anyway. The mask I always painted on and I think that would be more comfortable than wearing one. I'm thinking if I could get a replacement shirt (Hot Topic has the women's fitted black shirt with the yellow logo on it, or at least it's on their website), some black leggings and a black running skirt, I'll be set. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous, I could make some gauntlets and/or boot fakes or something. A utility belt would be a welcome, but not necessary addition as well.

Ok, so really I just want to run in a cape. So sue me. Costuming and running. Two great things that go great together. ;) There's a costumed 5k in Nashville in two weeks, but I don't think I'll be ready to do a race by then. Then there's the Nashville Zombie Walk on the 26th. Lots of fun costumey, walky, runny things coming up.

Yes.
