This morning I woke up at 5:40am to get to the beach for my group meet up. We weren’t running today because they had a clinic on upper body strength, so it was kinda a bust.
Right after the group I went to the expo for the OC Half Marathon. I am so not ready for the race, but we’re just gonna roll run with it, okay?
At the expo I signed up for my next FULL Marathon – Long Beach! I really want to return to the scene of the crime and PR in October!!! That training program is going to be for real. The website says it’s 161 days away so I have plenty of time for a complete 16 week program 
I didn’t eat before meeting with the group and ended up eating a few samples of bars at the expo. But that didn’t do much to help my rumbling stomach 
When I got home I attacked the kitchen and made French Toast. A lot of watermelon was consumed while cooking.
I ate way too fast and ended up eating an extra piece of PB&J toast too. My belly has a delayed reaction. I really need to pack a snack if I’m going to do stuff after my group meet up.
I have a lot of errands to do today and want to get some exercise in too! Oh, and I’m headed to a wedding that’s a good drive away. Better get on it!
Question: Can you get out of a race expo without buying anything?
I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything and didn’t get any “running stuff”, but ended up signing up for a race!

That’s a really cute race shirt!
I can not get out without buying anything! Even when I’m not running the race! I stopped by the Boston Marathon expo to kill some time and bought new shorts!
I just signed up for my first full this week and i’m SO excited for the expo. It’s NYC so it will be huge and I am going to buy EVERYTHING that says RUN NYC 2011 on it. hahah
Maybe not really but I will let myself indulge for my first time!
i just went to a race expo today .. I purposely did not bring my wallet so i wouldnt spend money there!
I went to an expo today and it was the goofiest thing I’ve ever been to. Clowns, people in penguin suits, and a table selling fancy hats. It would have been difficult TO buy anything. Hilarious.
Oh man, Expos take me for everything I’m worth. It’s ridiculous.
french toast is simply THE BEST. Lately, I feel like I need to eat constantly or else I get a stomach ache, especially when I’m running. I feel ya!
I didn’t buy anything when I went to my marathon expo…nothing that great! I did want the shirt that said “I thought they said RUM!”
And that happens to me too if I wait to long to eat. My body doesn’t register that I ate and I just keep eating all day
I have never been to a race expo, but it sounds like fun!!
Its ok, watermelon doesn’t count…
