Thursday:
We will be meeting at the Marriot ( where we will be staying for the weekend) and then we will be shuttled to the Runner's World Head Quarters for a meet and greet. I will get to take another tour of the head quarters and then RW will be hosting a barbecue!
Friday:
On Friday we will be starting our day very early. We need to be on the blogger bus at 7:15! We will be meeting with running author Budd Coates and will be seeing demonstrations. After that we get to do a shake-out run with Bart Yasso and then finally have some breakfast!
After breakfast, more demonstrations, which I won't give too much info about now, but I am really excited about them!
And then what we all wait for, LUNCH! I can honestly say I am really looking forward to this part, not just because I like to eat, but because everything on our lunch menu is coming from the Runner's World Cookbook!
Even on the itinerary I was given it tells me what the meal will be and what page of the cookbook I can find it on. Very cool. I can't wait to try the Caprese Farro Salad pg 82-83. If you haven't already read my post on the Runner's World Cookbook, you can check it out here.
After lunch we have a meet and greet with Olympic gold medalist Summer Sanders, another demonstration, and then it's off to the expo!
This is Lacey and Summer at the Boston Marathon expo this year. Friday I will get my chance to meet her too!
Saturday:
5k Race
10K Race
Eukanuba dog run
Multiple Running Seminars
Dinner with the editors and keynote speaker Dave McGillvray ( race director of Boston Marathon)

ReplyDeleteAlison, if you are in the area you should definitely stop by. There are lots of events that the general public can participate in!
DeleteYour weekend should be so much fun. Christine will be jealous about you meeting Summer Sanders. She was a swimmer in HS and followed career as an Olympian. Have a great race and enjoy your PA time!
