Bib Pick-Up

I stopped by the expo today to pick up my bib and off course the prized marathon jacket. Lots of people have been asking if you get them free, and no you do not you have to pay for them.

I seen lots of people wear them over the weekend, but I am not going to put mine on my back until I have conquered Boston.

With all the hype of the weather it has been worrisome, however the weather and temperatures today make it hard to believe that it is going to take such a turn for the worst - this is New England though - so anything is possible.

I have to admit when I was handed my bib number I was like a schoolkid - it was an stomach turning moment to have in my hand my coveted entry to Boston.

The expo was hectic and I was not one of the runners hanging around, once I got my number and jacket I took myself off home to relax.

Went out to dinner, Saturday night with some old co-workers, it was fun and they helped relax me from the distractions of my foot and the weather. With so many well wishes the last few days, it is really making me feel excited about running my first Boston Marathon.

They all took pictures at the finish line, I decided not to venture near it in case that I was tempting fate.
