Relay

I'm running in the Oakland Running Festival this coming Sunday. This is the first marathon that Oakland has hosted in 25 years, so it's going to be a pretty big, and exciting event. There is a 5K, a 10K, a 1/2 marathon, a marathon, and a 4-person team relay marathon.

I'm running in the relay marathon! I'm excited to be a part of the Oakland community in this way since I don't feel like I've done a TON in Oakland yet, plus I've never done a relay before so that will be fun to try out. The route goes practically all over Oakland so it will be fun to run through areas which are usually too busy to run through and see them from a different vantage point.

I can't say I've been training super well for this event, though I did my last long run today of 7 miles (my leg is 7.5) so I did at least get all my long runs in and I've been doing a lot of cross training so I know I'll be able to do it with relatively little pain - but not at a very fast pace. ;)

Wish our Team - "ShoesMove - luck!!!!

Yeah...um...I didn't name us.

how to pull off the "runner" look

So, my costume is complete!

I got myself a snazzy pair of sport sunglasses. Now I am TRULY a runner.

I can't wait until Tuesday when I go for my run and I can wear them and all the other runners will probably fall over or trip over their own feet as they watch me whiz by in my amazing sunglasses! They will probably hang their heads in shame and cry for the rest of the day after they see a REAL RUNNER!!!

bawahahahaha!
