Kalypso The Odyssey

My parents were in this years parade. That was a bit weird, as anyone would know if they’ve actually seen the parade. They were in the group called Seeds of Decline and their theme was ‘Fannie Mae Goes Down’ Here they are, dressed as Mr. Monopoly and Fannie Mae:

And here was the float:

The whole thing was cool though, and I’m glad that I was still able to go, all thanks to my wonderful god father.

And because it was the 1st of the month the last time I posted and is now the 18th, I suppose that if I am to follow through with my new years resolution, I have some running to do.

This year’s theme was ‘Batmut, The Bark Night’. The dogs were the heros and the humans (and me) were the villans. I was cat woman
Gil was riddler

my dad was the penguin

mom was poison ivy

and the dogs with the float

Ok… Im not gonna lie to you… I didn’t run the whole marathon. I only did the half. But my time was great! I got under 30 minutes!

Alright, so I’m still lying to you. I did the 5K with my mom, but I actually wanted to do the half. She had signed up by the time I had the knowledge to do anything about it. The previous time I mentioned was accurate, though… I guess its not bad for not having run anything close to a mile in months… And i didn’t walk at any point during the entire thing. My mom was about one and a half minutes behind me. We plan to run the half marathon next year, and we will try to run the whole thing the year after that. Just being able to say that I ran a marathon at the age of 15 is a very appealing thought…
