MCM 10k, here I come!!!
Today after school I dragged my butt over to the DC Armory to pick up my bib and goodie bag for the race and to poke around the Health and Fitness Expo a bit. The nice thing about these big races is that you get lots of stuff in your goodie bag! Tonight we have:
*Most importantly, my bib and timing chip
*an official race program, spectator guide, and expo guide
*the t-shirt -> *sigh* BUTT UGLY!!!
*an ultra-strength Ben Gay patch (ha ha)
*double mocha gourmet chewable instant energy beans (uh, no thank you)
*a clif bar (chocolate almond fudge)
*coconut 'lip ice'
*'Udderly Smooth' udder cream (must resist obvious comment!)
*a little first aid kit, stocked with all kinds of goodies (wow, this is pretty cool)
*a MCM patch
*an official map of Arlington (funny, they gave us one of these during teacher orientation, and it is the most screwed up map I've ever seen)
*various coupons for various stuff, including a free bagel
*tons of pamphlets for other races
*more lip balm, this time on a lanyard, though this was from the Jet Blue people - I guess lip balm is the hot item this year?
Hmmm, all in all, not a bad haul, though I want to say that I think last year's bag was better.
I also took some time to go and try on some more Mizunos after berating the salesperson for discontinuing my favorite shoes!!! (Because I'm sure it was all his fault.) I will be retiring my current pair on Sunday right around 9:30am.
Woot! I'm excited! I know I haven't been posting much about it, but I've actually been really good with my runs and training for the past two months, and I'm hoping for a PB tomorrow morning!
And thank goodness it FINALLY stopped raining!!!!!!!!!!
