relaxed pace

Yes, I ran 6 miles on the morning of a marathon.

What can I say, I just wanted to hit 30 for the day.  and I’m crazy.

Yesterday I hung out at the Pro Compression booth the race expo for awhile.

{From Pro’s Facebook}

I was able to meet a lot of readers and runners which was fun: I always enjoy meeting readers.  (I was nervous that no one would show up.  Honestly, I was praying that at least one person would.)

{With Audrey from Eugene}

{With Brian and Melissa; they’ve run a lot of great races in the PNW}

{That red-headed girl and Jenn, another supersweet runner who’s crazy about the sport – love it}

{Janice who is running her first half marathon with her husband Ken.  Good luck today, Janice!}

{With the funny Naomi and Christina; we’re besties now whether they like it or not}

{With Mary and Jenifer who were nice enough to wait for me to quit blabbing with other people.  Sometimes I talk a lot…}

{I met Kaye is running and her 2 lb Yorkie Ali and fell in love.}

{Makes me miss my dog soo bad, it’s embarrassing}

{With Michelle and Heather – check out their blog here}

{I met the incredibly sweet Britt who brought me a cupcake!  I’ll tell you all about it next week}

{With Kim and her lovely blonde locks.  One of us brushes our hair…}

{I met Monica and her supportive man John.  Running isn’t the most entertaining spectator sport so you guys who support us runners, thank you!}

{With the tiny twins Larissa and Lewanna but I think I got you backwards?}

{And lastly I was able to meet the very sweet Ivy and her man too.}

Good luck to all you ladies and gents running today and thanks again for taking the time to say hi!

 And holiday socks are coming tomorrow!  You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be sporting a pair… hello, holiday runs race costume.

{A massive amount of thanks to PC for putting up with me all weekend and for partnering with me in this race.  I’m extremely grateful to be able to work with a company that I completely support.}

Speaking of costumes, I better go get ready for the race:

RnR Vegas is always a special race for me…

It was my first marathon 3 years ago in 2009.  I hit the wall hard and barely BQ’ed with a 3:40 and change.

It was my 12th marathon 2 years ago in 2010.  I ran a then-PR of 3:22 and was over the moon about it – I couldn’t believe my legs could go that fast!

It was my 24th marathon last year in 2011; I ran a 3:26 and had a frustrating race.

It will be my 39th marathon today in exactly 3 years.

I want to enjoy today’s race and not be as emotionally keyed up as I was last year so I’m running in a homemade (read: probably going to fall apart in all the wind.  Crudnuggets, it’s windy here today) Elvis costume.

I want to PR; I’d really like to run a 3:09 some time soon, but today’s not that day.  Today’s for glitter, gold and some hip-swiveling action.

Viva Las Vegas!

Off to do #39
