Only worked a half day yesterday so I decided to check out the Race Expo for the 26.2 with Donna Marathon (which is tomorrow). Definitely an inspiring, energetic vibe at The Prime Osborn Convention Center and just some plain fun checking out all the sponsors (and free stuff) and the vendors with all the latest and greatest running gear.
The race starts at the Mayo Clinic (I guess that's still considered Jax Beach even though it's over the bridge~lol) and the course goes through the beaches~part of it is actually on the sand. Anyway, just being there at the expo got me really excited about running again. I'm seriously thinking I'm going to try to run at least the 1/2 marathon next year...the marathon would be awesome, but I've done a half before and at least know I'm capable of that.So what's the plan for this year's race? GET OUT ON THE COURSE AND CHEER THE RUNNERS ON!!! I'm gonna be out on 1st Street in Neptune Beach with some great gals. Find a spot, plunk yourself down and cheer 'em on! And oh yeah, wear PINK. Imagine running 26.2 miles--sheeesh! Believe me, when I've run the Gate River Run, the people out on the course cheering makes it really special and actually is encouraging. And this run is for such a good cause...
P.S. Find their fb page...it's pretty cool.
