It’s Race Weekend!

Our racing anniversary is here!  One full year ago, Jeff and I went to pick up our race bibs for the 2011 Disneyland 5k.  We’ve run 7 races together, six 5ks and one 10k.  I cannot believe it’s only been a year, it feels like we’ve been running for so long!

This year we dragged Shannon along to the Expo so we had another body to collect the freebies usually passed out.  We picked up our bibs first and then headed over to the Expo.

We headed into the Expo and started at the back, moving our way towards the front.

The expo was just okay this year.  They had a few samples and not a lot of giveaways.  I wouldn’t be a big deal but the bag you typically get when you get your shirt was literally just the shirt and one mini Clif bar.  #superlame

After heading out, we decided to have lunch at Downtown Disney.  We ate at the ESPN Zone (thanks Shannon!) and then walked around a bit.  The Lego store had changed up their displays since the last time we’d been there.

What do you think?  Real or not real?  I’m saying that they just glued Legos onto forms.  Winking smile

One last stop to smell the desserts…we passed on buying them, but don’t they look like works of art?  Almost too cute to eat anyway.

*Almost*  Smile

Tomorrow is Race Day.  Unfortunately I’ve caught ANOTHER FREAKING cold and have been sick this whole week.  Instead of running, I’ve been sitting on the couch just trying to breathe through my stuffy nose.  I feel like I’ve been sick for ALL of 2012.  So lame. 

Also, Jeff and I are thinking about hiding out in Disneyland until it opens to public.  Good idea or bad idea?  Joking or not joking?  Hmmm.
