This year, we ran for Team Alan.
While this was a “run where you are” event, I didn’t receive any pictures/times from 5ks out in the world, but you did something more important — you donated. When I announced the event last week, Team Alan still needed $1500 to make their goal. Now that number is down to under $800. I’m told this last stretch was largely from people who donated during our final push here, so if you donated at least $25 and I owe you a signed book, please let me know via my contact form.
In Denver, we had a team of five runners and one dog.
Here we are celebrating with a beer after the finish line, and I have to commend our runners who weren’t used to the altitude and/or had too much fun celebrating Halloween the night before.
You might have also noticed that I shaved my beard. You know that Halloween fun the night before I mentioned? Check out my costume:

Thanks again to all those who donated or helped spread the word!

I’m going to guess that you were Westley from The Princess Bride for Halloween? (Or, should I say, The Dread Pirate Roberts?)
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Although all I got the whole night was Zorro
I have seen that movie way too many times (if there is such a thing) to not know that was Westley :P. Really, it was that sword that clinched it. Handle was very similar, which is awesome… Yeah. I watch that movie quite a lot.
Well, I have a yellow lab named Buttercup and a Siamese named Westley if that tells you anything.
That’s awesome 😀 I’ve always said that if I ever get an Irish Wolfhound, its name is going to be Fezzik.
