I’ve been so busy considering that Thursday I forgot to announce the winners of the Asics gear giveaway. and there are some random pictures I wished to share from the weekend…
We stayed at the Fairmont hotel in Santa Monica. You know I’m incredibly not fancy, so I always feel spoiled and out of place and blessed when I get an opportunity like this.

You know it’s a fancy hotel when the room person sets out your make-up…
That gesture is so sweet I’m going to ignore the fact that their toiletries called me a d-bag.
Plus, they answer the phone with your name and the customer service is amazing!! I really felt spoiled. When I went for a walk Saturday morning they handed me a towel and water as I walked back inside.
There was a photo booth at the party on Friday night…
And of course there is the view…
I took a walk to find lunch on Sunday and snapped a quick picture of third street in Santa Monica. This used to be a cool place to find when I was in high school but now I live so far I haven’t seen it for years.
I kinda skipped over the expo considering that the LA Marathon expo isn’t that grand considering it’s a big race. but there were a few things to note:
It was at the LA Convention center…
And outside there was a treadmill challenge – the treadmill was set to the pace of the LA Marathon course record – 2:06:35. That is 12.4 miles per hour!!
You could get hooked up in a harness and see if/how long you could hold that pace. They also did it at the nyc Marathon to Camiseta Arsenal FC Ryan Hall’s pr Pace.
The expo did give me warm fuzzy memories of the nyc expo this year though. The indications are the same and I liked new York so this made me happy…
Please note: I have no shame and do embarrassing things in public and try to get you to do them too…
And just like at the new York City Marathon, there is a wall with all the runners’ names on it. For some reason my name is epic-ly big!!!!! score
I’d like to thank all the RER Camiseta RB Leipzig readers for assisting to make this happen…
And I stopped by the ProCompression booth and did a bit dance.
The one tiny fail of the weekend was that my Garmin lost satellite for a few miles during the race. I wasn’t going for time, but Camiseta Everton FC if I was I would have freaked the heck out!!!!
The post-race dinner was probably the highlight of the whole weekend (hello, besides the race) for me. I got to sit at the table with Deena Kastor and she is so normal and down to earth. Seriously. I felt comfortable enough to tell her about that time I barfed in my car. (Suddenly regretting that…)
Added bonus: Brian got this picture of me hanging out with Deena Kastor after our run Saturday. would it be strange to make this my Christmas card??
Plus, these charming ladies were there and I dig them too.
And my fave group picture after dinner…
