I'm 50% of the way done with my costume for the Avengers 10K. I have decided on dressing up as Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck It Ralph.
It's not a Marvel super hero, but still Disney. There aren't many Marvel super heroes to choose from and they are so overdone. Another reason I picked this costume is because it's going to be cold at 5:30 in the morning in November in Anaheim. Sure it may warm up during the race, but I don't want to freeze in the beginning. This is a hoodie and tights!
I already had a brown sparkle running skirt from my Russel costume from the last Disney 10K I ran, so that was a sunk cost/free! Getting a teal/aqua/mint hoodie and tights shouldn't be too expensive since I have time to look and that is a popular color. I've looked into making the tights and I can either buy the correct color and make elastic stripes to wear or buy white and use fabric paint. All doable before November.
My older brother is in town and we had brunch today. Afterwards, the hubster and I ventured over to Sports Authority since they filed bankruptcy and are going out of business. I got an email saying everything was 40-60% off. You can never have enough athletic wear. I found this sweatshirt which was marked down 50% with an additional 40% off, making it $20. I like it well enough to wear outside of the race, so I picked it up.
I also picked up a North Face hoodie for $24. Overall, not a bad visit, thought I shouldn't really be spending so much since I'm on maternity leave.
All that is left is to get the tights and buy the accessories for hair and putting finishing touches on the rest of the costume!
