1 - Expo & Rixy B-day!!!

Morgan here... reporting to you LIVE from Chi-town!!! It seems my cousins boyfriend has installed a little thing called an actual computer in the house since my last visit! Yay for technology!!!
Oh yes, I DID!

The plan ride was fairly unevenful minus a hellacious storm that rocked the plane with all sorts of turbulence... *barf* Any way...

COMMENCE RACE EXPO!!! Yay!!! So excited!!! Time to buy out the Chicago Marathon 2009 line; I will be head to toe marathon madness!

"Why yes I ran the Chicago Marathon, how DID you know?" ;)

Off we go... and check this, Michelle's BF is working the expo (he's a photographer) so we're going before anyone else, watching him set up and who knows I might even get to meet Deena Kastor?!?!? Jealous?!?!? Around noonish B.o.B will be here and then we shall commence Operation Florida Girls take over the city!!! I'll try to get up some more pics later so check back...

Happy Birthday to my beloved Rixy!!! Love you so much, have a blast at U2 tonight!!!

Glad you made it safely. You are going to kill it! Use as much of my running energy as you need!

There is a short speed demon up there from Knoxville, named Stewart Ellington that will be running sub 2:20, so my advice is to not get excited and race him :)
