Running costumes

So I've ran in a couple races already and have noticed that quite a few people dress up for them or at least wear tutus, and I thought, I wanna do that!  My next race is the Food Traffice Half Marathon on the 4th of July.  I decided to be patriotic and try to wear red, white and blue.  I did some research online and found patterns for no-sew tutus.  I went to the craft store and bought everything I needed.  After my 4 mile run this morning I got to work.


After awhile I kept thinking I didn't have enough material or it wasn't going to work out.  The more I worked on it, the more excited I got as it came together!  Finally I finished with the last of the materials and came up with this ...


I'm still needing to purchase a red leg compression sleeve and then maybe find something to put my hair up with, but other than that, I feel like I've completing my outfit for the run!  I'm super excited to dress up for this as I haven't really in the past.  The only thing I've dressed up is my hair and that's with a tiara during the Disney World Princess Half Marathon. 

I have an idea for the Disneyland Half Marathon, but I'm not wanting to reveal my secret yet.  And if I can pull it off, I'll be even more excited!
