For today's Friday Five, I figured it was only appropriate to highlight five of the things that I am most looking forward to this weekend as I head to Savannah for another weekend of Rock n Roll fun!
Shoot, have you seen the Rock n Roll Marathon Series bling? Come on! They seriously have some of the absolute best bling around! While their individual races each have their own medal designs unique to the city, they also have challenge medals to up the ante a bit.
I will be earning 5 medals this weekend in total - the Rock n Roll Savannah Half Marathon, 5K, and 1 Mile finisher medals, Remix Challenge medal for running on both Saturday and Sunday, and Groupie for running 4 Rock N Roll half marathons (or longer) in the 2016 calendar year. Fact: I run for bling.
I am usually a super pre-planner when it comes to visiting new cities, but this time is different. I have a lot of trips coming up and honestly time slipped away from me to plan an itinerary of things I wanted to see and do. This weekend will be a lot of playing it by ear and just exploring Savannah at my leisure and enjoying what the city has to offer. Totally out of my norm, but I am excited none the less.
3. The Expo I love race expos, and if anyone knows how to do a race expo, it is Rock n Roll. There are always so many great vendors to check out and I cannot wait to see some new product and of course make a few purchases there. Hey Geico, I am coming for your spin the wheel game, because I am destined to win eventually! |
The people are what make race weekends so amazing. Over the past few years I have made some of the most amazing friends from around the country. Yes, we might only see each other a few times a year (or less), but the time we get together is so insanely fun. A lot of my #RockNBlog and #WeRunSocial friends will be bringing the party to Savannah this weekend, so I will be in some great company for sure. I know I am ready, but is Savannah ready?
If you are running or spectating the marathon or half marathon on Saturday, be sure to swing by the pre-race #WeRunSocial meetup. Spend a few minutes with friends of the interwebs (and make some new ones) as we snap some pics (and a few selfies) and get ready to run.
I watched the course preview video last week and I am so crazy excited to run this course. The elevations look absolutely amazing (compared to Atlanta especially) and you run past some beautiful and historic spots around Savannah as you make your way to the finish line.
