Carb-Loading, Packing and Norah Jones

Such a b-u-s-y day, sometimes I feel like I live 2 different lives. But I am now packing, eating some breakfast for dinner and listening to Norah to chillax.

The Nike Expo began today! Only 22k people in the race, no biggie. An appearance from Kara Goucher and other Olympians.  A Tiffany's Finisher's necklace delivered by firemen on a silver platter.  Lots of sweat. Maybe a tear or two.

One thing is for certain, Nike can really stack an event, here are some deets that arrived in my email yesterday:

It's here. We'd say it's the day you've been waiting for… but "waiting" hardly describes the effort you've put in over the past few months. No. It's the day you've laced up and headed out the door literally hundreds of times for. It's the day you envisioned in every painful moment where you questioned why. It's the day that never let you press snooze. It's the day you have trained for. We've pulled out all the stops to make sure it's a day you'll never forget. Crossing the finish line (because you WILL cross it, you know) is going to seal the deal on making 10/16 a memorable day, but you've got an awful lot to look forward to in the meantime. This weekend is a celebration of all the STRONG.SEXY.FIERCE women out there, so make plans to enjoy it to the fullest. You deserve it! Here's what we've got in store:
