ING MIAMI MARATHON & HALF MARATHON EXPO

Minus the traffic that's typically associated with driving south of the border into MiamiDade County from Broward County, our drive down to Miami Beach this morning can best be described as breathtaking, stress free, and pleasant. Breathtaking as in the scenery when crossing the Julia Tuttle Causeway, stress free as in no traffic, and pleasant as in having two wonderful friends of ours accompany us to the expo.

Much to our surprise, and delight, the expo had yet to be filled to capacity with fellow runners.  In today’s case, on this beautiful Saturday morning that Northerners would die for, it definitely paid to arrive early.

After receiving our race numbers and goody bags, we drifted from one booth to the next taste testing all edible samples reachable by man or beast.  From juices promising to enhance our brain power and libido, to energy bars promising to give us more oomph, we sampled them all.  We entered the expo hungry and left not.

Safely home, it’s now time to carbo-load and drink, drink, drink – high carb drinks, that is.  We have 13.1 miles to conquer tomorrow at sunrise.
