Everything is ready to go.
The alarm clock is set for 3 a.m. Ouch.
Instead of running Friday morning we went for breakfast instead. Omelet for me and chocolate chip pancakes for the Brooke.
Lots of hydrating because it is going to be a HOT one.
We missed our exit on our way to the expo so we decided to roll with it and go to Scheels for a bit.
Brooke’s first ferris wheel.
Picked up the bibs and I am hoping #1603 is my lucky number.
Carbs and protein—> Potbelly’s for dinner.
Park tradition at night.
PS my nephew in Kentucky just got his first ever pair of real running shoes! I got him the Launch 2s and he is loving them!

I started running in middle school. I’m pretty sure I had some ugly black and white Nikes because that’s all they made back then. Running shoes sure have come a long way! This weekend I’m working on a few pumpkin recipes for the blog & taking Mom out for breakfast.

My Saturday plans include a longish run (7 miles), getting a new rug, and grocery shopping. I don’t remember when I got my first pair of running shoes, but it was probably when I was 16 or 18 years old. I don’t have a lucky number, but I prefer to race with even numbers. Good luck at your race today! I hope that you had a good time and enjoyed the race!
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
Good luck! I can’t wait to hear all about it!!!
