Audra and I decided to tackle the GRR expo at lunch. The expo was awesome - it always has been packed with great vendors, free goodies, and lots of good sales and running gear. We did a lap or two around the perimeter of the expo after getting our shirts, race numbers and activating our timing chips. We spun a wheel for free rice, another wheel for a Wendy's prize (we both won kids' meals) and grabbed free chapsticks, Biofreeze packets, Powerbars, bandaids and enough Larabars to make your head spin! I bought a pair of my favorite running shorts for 15$ instead of the usual 28$ price tag, a short sleeve technical shirt and a hand-held pepper spray. We sampled protein powder, chocolate so horrific it had to be followed up with water and fiber water (really?). And to think...this year the Gate, historically Jacksonville's most popular running event, will have nearly 20,000 runners!

I am jealous of your Larabar booty! I didn't think to make multiple circuits and only got the allowed 2. Bought many more at Whole Paycheck though!
