Why hello there, 2013! A Halloween run, you say?

Oh, hi! We're on the downslope of August now, which means one thing...

AUTUMN IS COMING!

And Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

And Football.

And, well... Halloween of course!

So where I have I been all this year? You may have already guessed it if you follow my other blog, A Taste of My Brain. But if not, I'll let you in on the not-really-a-secret secret.

I'm in SoCal!

It was time for a change, one that will greatly impact my autumnal happenings! So where to start? Just the other day, I heard about this on the radio...

Los Angeles Halloween Half Marathon

Ready for a Halloween like no other? Join us at the spookified Rock ‘n’ Roll Los Angeles Halloween Half Marathon on October 27! We’re looking for all those running vampires, goblins and werewolves to haunt 13.1 miles of streets in LA this fall.  Pull out your favorite running costume and join us downtown for a weekend of Halloween fun at  LA Live!
For more details on the event, click here.

Does 13.1 miles sound a bit daunting? Good news! Meet Option #2:

Get a taste of what the Rock ‘n’ Roll Los Angeles Halloween Half Marathon benefiting the ASPCA is all about. Feel the excitement of 13.1 miles in a mini marathon distance (approximately 3.5 miles). Experience the thrill of live bands and cheer teams on the course and a rockin’ Finish Line Festival. The Mini is an untimed fun run, but there will be timing clocks at the Start Line, Finish Line and along the race course.
Even though this race is not timed, participants will still rock a race tee, swag bag and free beer at the end to enjoy along with live music and entertainment.

So who's going? Whatever you do, start planning your race attire now. Because what would a Halloween event be without a costume contest?

Don't miss: Yankee Candle Halloween Preview Party

Yankee Candle's annual Halloween Preview Party is Saturday, August 4! And yes, that means our beloved Boney Bunch returns in new forms that we'll lust over all season. (You bet I'm going for that candy dish!) 

Why is this preview so important? Not only are there specials offered only on this day, but many of their Halloween items sell out--THAT DAY! Every year, I get there early and take my time. I decide how much of a hit my wallet can take and plan my attack accordingly. At the end of the day, I usually walk away with 3-5 new Boney Bunch pieces for my collection. My Boney Bunch hangs out in my room year-round, so I don't fuck around.

I've scanned in the flyer below since it doesn't appear to be up on Yankee's website yet. Apologies for the creases...
