Love/Hate Friday Five HALLOWEEN

Sorry it's been a whole week and you're stuck with another LHFF with nothing in between but it's been hella crazy around here.

Things I luuuuuuurve about halloween:

1. Kids in costumes
2. All different colored leaves
3. Sweatshirts
4. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
5.

Things about Halloween that are crazy making for me:
1. Knocking on peoples doors with my hands/bag out looking for candy that I don't even want to eat
2. Uncontrollable urges to consume large amounts of candy
3. Guilty feelings after eating said large amounts of candy
4. Guilt about eating candy in front of my kids and the guilt from hiding it from them (ie eating in the coat closet)
5. The stupid "ghost" who leaves the chain letter/halloween package at my door who I must give to 3 other people in the neighborhood before the stroke of midnight on halloween! Who thinks of this stuff?!?!?!?!? The gag always ends when it gets to my house.

Trying so desperately to become someone who

loves running. It's hella hard. After all these years I still only midly like it. When is it going to click? What am I doing wrong? What's missing? Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of accomplishment when it's done and the muscles in my legs and the cardio strength I know I have as a result of regular sesssion but I don't think I ever get that "runner's high" while I'm running. I'd like to be the person that enjoys doing it WHILE i'm doing it.

I'm running my first organized 5k tomorrow. Since I usually only run alone around the hood or on the treadmill at the gym this is all new to me. Maybe the competitive thing is that thing I'm missing. We'll see. I'll let ya know.
