I don’t feel like I am in NYC to run a marathon. I feel like I am here to spend time with my awesome friends Gina and Steve (and Luca and Manny!) and bonus – spend time with my sister and her boyfriend who are also here! I better get my act together, because I do have a marathon to run! 

And a 5K too! Gina and I will be doing the Dash to the Finish Line 5K tomorrow! 

Our flight was a bit late today so we immediately booked it to the expo when we got in. I think we were cutting it short with getting our bibs for the 5K, but we were successful.

I also was really interested in the marathon themed orange arm warmers, so I had to get them. Along with a pair of gloves I thought were silly until I saw them in person, a tee, and gifts for two friends. 

We didn’t spend too much time at the expo though. It was in the middle of nowhere and we (Gina, Will, Christina and I) made the trek back to Gina’s for pizza…

And Gina and Steve surprised me with a marathon goodie bag! They are too good to me! How did I get so lucky? This is going to be a great trip!

I just need to make sure not to have too much fun tomorrow and wear myself out for the race on Sunday!
