What the f#$k is this! So it's Halloween and it's time to find a costume for NYC. I will be in town for the marathon and I've been searching for the perfect costume. The problem is I will be running the marathon 2 days after Halloween so heels are out. It's also probably going to be extremely cold, so something that covers my ass would be nice. Unfortunately I don't have time to make a costume so I decided to look online and it was appalling! Why are there no appropriate costumes in my size!!
Running and weight loss will change your body in ways you never thought possible. I have muscular legs and arms, a defined stomach and randomly no toe nails. I'm still getting used to my new body and this year for Halloween I did not want some sexy costume showing off my nonexistent assets. I also have to run 26.2 miles 2 days later and 6 inch heels are not really on the menu. So I decided to look online and realized in my size I had two options; slutty and porn star. Sexy witch, playboy bunny and dirty kitty were the norms, but there was also some really funny yet disturbing options. For example; sexy Mario from the Nintendo game, sexy forest animals and my personal favorite sexy Chinese food takeout container. Yes that really was an option. You could also star in your own Disney Princess porn! Come on who doesn't want to be Princess Aurora in a bikini. All of these costumes would make me look like a tween who changed when her parents weren't looking. I wanted a clever yet covering costume I didn't have to spend time on. With training there is not much time to make a fancy costume worthy of the NYC parade. Unfortunately it's looking like I'm going as either Gumby or a sheet ghost:(. Or maybe I should just give in and go as a runner.
When did Halloween get sexist? Why are women supposed to be scantily clad on Halloween? It's a mystery I won't be able to solve by 10/31 this year! Maybe I will just have to purchase those chicken cutlet like breast enhancers and look like a fool. I'm thinking Gumby! The most important goal is to keep my body healthy for NY and enjoy a night out with friends before the race. Less than a month to NYC and hopefully a personal best:)!
