Posted by The week is finally here. It’s Marathon week in Pittsburgh! Here are some things I’ll do this week:
1. I will go for a quick run with some of my fellow CCFA runners and get my CCFA race day shirt! Unfortunately, I think they decided to make these shirts orange, so it will probably be a one-time-wear shirt for me. Though it should make it easy for people to spot me on Sunday!
2. I will post a photo of my race day outfit so that people can find me on race day! Let me know in the comments if you will be there this weekend so I can look for you!
3. I will see my running Ohana. I am so excited for everyone to arrive in town and to spend time with so many people who inspire me in my running (and life) journey.
4. I will attend the Expo and fight like hell to get a green men’s shirt instead of the STUPID pink women’s shirts. I will also be following up with the Marathon people to see why they thought sexist shirt colors were a good idea in 2015.
5. I will attend a Meet-Up at 7:30am by the main entrance of PNC Park on Saturday. Steff will be giving away some Sparkly Soul headbands!
6. I will run Pittsburgh Marathon 5k, which was my FIRST-ever race last year! (Medal count: 1)
| Chelsea and I after the 5k last year – my first race! |
7. I will enjoy carbs and good company at dinner Saturday night.
8. I will run my FIRST HALF MARATHON! (Medal Count: 2)
9. I will collect my Steel Challenge Medal and hopefully visit the FedEx Ground Hospitality Tent for a complimentary massage and some treats! I will have access to this tent thanks to all of my amazing donors who helped me to raise over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America – Western PA/West Virginia chapter! (Medal Count: 3)
10. I will go out to eat with my family to celebrate my birthday that is next week!
11. I will do NOTHING for the rest of the day haha.
See you all this weekend! Good luck to all of my fellow runners!
