I’m Off To Pick Up My Race Packet Today. Woo Hoo

Is it normal to be this excited?

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be picking up my race packet today!  I am picking up my very first relay race packet.  Which in itself is pretty exctiting.  But I am also picking up my nephews first Around the Bay Road Race race packet today.  This will be the very first time he has done the Bay.  Legally.  That is a whole other post.

But the thing I am most excited about is what is going to happen after I pick up the race packets.  I get to go and help out at the Road2Hope booth.  I get to help promote an amazing race. 

Hamilton’s only marathon.  The race that the Gazelle is going to run so that he can qualify for Boston, the first time.

I am  very excited about the possibility of meeting some of the everyday Joe runners.  And if I play my cards right, I might even meet an elite runner or two.

Ok, I am most excited about meeting runners like me.  Who go out in all kinds of weather for the love of running.  Who get up before dawn on their days off work. Who get excited when Saucony announces a new running shoe.  And the occasional ice cream tossed in isn’t too bad either.

I’ll post some pictures tonight.  That way if you can’t make it down yourself, you can take a look.  You never know who you might see!
