Long Beach Marathon Expo

Somehow we had doubts in doing this marathon. 26.2 miles

• A bit far from our house. Husband would prefer to just take a taxi going and in this case it would cost us $90.00 plus tips and only one way. 
• Son has soccer game that would end at 5pm and have to travel back to home and get him shower then take him to my friends house for the night.
• The course isn't one way.. have to turn around from the half then go back to get the other half.
• We are experiencing back problems from being silly trying some new fad in town, Vibram Five Fingers

They are nice to run with but somehow we been switching back and forth with the regular Nike+ shoes and our backs aren't  accepting the change. We have arch problems too. We both ran with those things hanging in our chandelier in our living room on Wednesday when it rained  hard. I did 8 miles and maybe more from him.

So, yesterday I ran 15 miles for 3 hours with regular nike shoes and got backache the whole entire night. ugghh..

 Woke up this morning and decided that we are going to the expo. I guess when husband said that he knew me well, then it's set.. huh!

 This is cool shirt  for half and full marathon. I will post the medal later on.

 We are somewhat happy that we decided to go there and register for it. We are now ready even our backs aren't so happy. But we have one more day for it to relax and hopefully by Sunday we are so ready.
