First off I need to back track to Saturday and tell you how excited I was for my BFF Jamie to arrive in CANADA and stay at my house (yes, Mike, you’re cool too). They showed up in the early afternoon and I was beyond excited!
Colin and I really wanted to pick up some new Altras at the race expo and so we decided to head there. Chris promised me a discount for my amazing review of the Intuitions and I didn’t want Colin to miss out on that, plus the fact that there would be NO shipping costs.
Colin left with the new instincts and I left with a complementary pair of Torin’s! THANK YOU CHRIS 
<—- best company ever! I’ll review them as soon as I pound out some miles in them but the coles notes version is “running on a cloud” 
Then it was onto Wendy’s as we promised Logan if he was good at the expo he could have a milkshake. He was upset that we were going two times. He told me he already went and once was enough! lol kids.
Oh course I had to have a frosty……
When we finally got back to our place it was time to start dinner. Colin and I made Chicken Parm!!!! YUM!!!!! I’ll have to share the recipe because it was sooooooo good I want to make it again.
While Jamie and Mike played/entertained Logan…..and taught him how to use their “stick”…I love that thing! Must buy it
We ate a runner’s dinner and talked and watched KT tape instructional videos….I think Mike even tackled some nintendo for a while and then we went to bed
I set my alarm for 6am because I always hit the snooze and my sister was due to arrive at 7:45am to watch Logan. I fell right to sleep the day was very exhausting for me……
…..stay tuned for tomorrow’s race recap! I just couldn’t NOT tell you about how much I love hanging and eating with Jamie and Mike….especially before a race!
WE JUST LOVE EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!
……and yes, I’m not looking in the right spot

what is your go to “night before a race meal”??
Pasta!!!! plus protein. It is SOOOOO true that pasta just sits so well with a runner. I’ve never switched off of it since Road2Hope. It’s the only races I haven’t felt sick.

not normally but I will always take free things and/or discounts FRUGAL!
do you have blogger friends??? ie: friends you’ve met through this community??
Yes! I try to meet anyone I can! if the opportunity is there, I’ll take it I love this community!!!! xoxoxo
