Hello everyone,
This weekend I'll be spending some time down in Miami. Sunday, January 31 is the ING Miami marathon. I'm still pretty new to running, so I'll be doing the 1/2 marathon - 13.1 miles. ING Miami will be my second half marathon. I competed in my first half marathon on December 7, 2008 at the Marathon of the Palm Beaches.
I'll be riding down to the Health & Fitness Expo on Friday morning with a couple of my friends. We have to pick up our race registration packets at the expo. Plus there is going to be a TON of stuff to see at the expo, and hopefully lots of free goodies!
We're riding back down to Miami on Saturday night, as we've decided to get a hotel room the night before the marathon. We'll be staying at the Miami Hyatt Regency, which is just a few blocks from the start line. We weren't looking forward to getting up at 2 AM in order to drive down to Miami and try and find a place to park, that wasn't too far from the start line. So getting a hotel room the night before the race seemed like a good idea.
I hope to see a bunch of my friends down at ING Miami - should be a super weekend. I'm going to try and remember to bring my camera with me to the health expo, so I can post up some pictures on Run Diva in the next few days.
Take care,
Lynn Smythe AKA the Run Diva
