Today was packet pick-up for the KC Marathon!!! So today my mom and I went to the expo down at Crown Center (mall in KC that is connected to the hotel) to pick up my packet and other goodies. I was quite impressed with the expo itself, unfortunately, I was unable to get photos of the expo. I did get a picture as I was walking out because I always have to get one, LOL.
I bought some running glasses, some Advocare products- rehydration for the race and got a few free items as well. I also saw the bling for this race in person and I was quite impressed. Was very excited to run this race as it was my hometown and the bling was NICE!!!
We didn't stay at the expo too long as it was a Thursday night, cold and my parents had to go to work the next day. I was just happy to get that over so I could relax the next day and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. As you see below, I set all of my things out for the race the night before. It's better to be prepared early, than try to scramble early the morning of the race and forget something important. I didn't have a fuel belt because I knew there would be plenty of water stops along the way.
