The costume was in progress for months, but I almost missed the race because I had in my brain, calendar, and everywhere else that it started at 9 this morning. Good thing we were close by staying with friends, but running before coffee was not my idea of a great morning. Saw my friends, got some fun photos, and made it out alive. I learned to to hook-latch crochet for the beard, but it wasn’t until last night that I even thought about the logistics of hanging a beard and large mustache on me and then running. It worked more or less OK, but next time I’ll need to make a few adjustments. And there will be a next time pretty soon. Also, it seems I signed up for the 10K, then forgot to downgrade it when I added the half tomorrow. Lucky to have a friend at packet pickup with the magic login to change it. Most of my friends Of A Certain Age knew the character, but one of the young guys with a Let Me Run group was like, “Fortnite guy?” Nah, kid, the name’s Yukon Cornelius. The greatest prospector in the North, and this here’s my land. Wa-hoooooo!
