Working in my Running Shoes

I am running a half marathon this Sunday so I took Thursday off to rest my legs. Today I ran 4.5 and had a great run. It may have been in the pitch black, but I am pleased to report that I was almost hit by a car only once! May seem like a small victory but I live to run another day. I am hoping I can feel as good as I have this week at my race on Sunday, so fingers crossed. The coarse and weather are supposed to be fantastic, so now it's just up to me to take advantage and run the race I know I can.

Saturday I am working at the subscription booth at the Women's Running Magazine 1/2 Marathon Expo. I worked for the magazine part-time as an expo rep before getting my full-time big girl job. I traveled to races across the country and even ran in a few. It was the best opportunity I could have asked for and I am thrilled to be able to help out at the expo and run the race this weekend. I love the vibe of expos before racing, everyone there is so excited for the upcoming race. You can feel the energy surrounding you and it's hard not to be motivated to do your best. It is going to be a long day and I am going to be on my feet for most of it, but the past 3 half marathons I have run I have worked prior so you could say I am used to it. I get to see my co-workers and even pick a few of their brains for any advice on marathon training. This is going to be a great weekend!
