Carlsbad 5000 Expo randomness

2 Apr

This afternoon, I hit up the Carlsbad 5000/All Day 25K Expo and I didn’t take a single picture!  Whoops.  I got flustered trying to find street parking, then even more flustered when a high school boy started hitting on me at the bib pick-up (this was as embarrassing as it was good for my self-esteem since I’m randomly going through a quarter-life crisis… or something).  I made a bee-line for the race shirts, then got credit card happy…

I bought some super soft tees from Tough Chik and boxes of gluten-free PR Bars in Chocolate Peanut and Iced Brownie, so I had a protein-packed snack for the traffic-y drive home.  I want to test run the bars pre/post run, but so far my review stands that these bars are better than candy!  The guy who was manning the PR Bar tent suggested keeping them in the freezer, which is a great idea and something I think I HAVE to do so I’m not tempted to scarf down their yumminess.
And my new “running is zen” tee (I need SkinnyRunner to give me lessons on the art of the self-timer portrait, because I clearly don’t know what I’m doing.  That, and I’m a dork):
Note Sully’s giant hairball next to my left foot… awesome…

I got new shoes last weekend and was on the lookout for another pair on sale at the expo, but didn’t find my model.  And just like magic, my mom called to say she and dad found last year’s model on sale, so they bought me two pair.  Score!

 Check out what we found on the sidewalk during a walk earlier this week!

It says CHUCK !!!!!  Sully’s not impressed…

We also came across a Hawaii license plate.  Sully insisted on taking a picture for Mamaw, who loves Hawaii and answers the phone with “Aloha!” instead of hello.  She’s awesome like that.

Aloha, mamaw!  I’m too tired to keep my tongue in my mouth!
