‘Twas the day of the Christmas Story Run,
And all through the land of Cleves,
The creatures were stirring…
Especially the six foot (give or take) bunny suited Kevin.
Sometimes it’s best to let the photos tell the story. This is one such occasion.
Oh! And huge shout outs and kudos to my Mom the shutterbug! She took some great pics today whilst cheering this Ralphie wannabe along! Thanks, Mom! And sorry it was such a short trip and we didn’t get to really appreciate all Cleveland has to offer.
And now, this…
The donning of the bunny suit:
***
Getting to the start line by wandering through the mall…
***
The pre-race photo opportunities…
…and a chance for Kevin to be photographed with his “peeps.”
Plus for the second time at a costumed fun run, I spend some Warhol fame ducats on the local news…
***
On the road again…
***
The tortoise ain’t got nothing on this hare… First Bunny, First Pink Nightmare, but Not Anywhere Near First (those top runners were flying!)
When all was said and done, I didn’t shoot my eye out, the suit and fluffy bunny feet made it relatively intact, and I clocked in around 44 minutes for the 10k.
And laying my finger aside of my nose
And giving a nod, up the mall escalator I rose.Doffing my suit of pink bunnitude, I could be heard to exclaim:
Happy Christmas Story Run to all, and to all a good night.
