I stayed at my grandparents closer to the beach and farther from the race start line then Lynda did, and next year I would stay closer to the start line.
We went to the Expo at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center the night we arrived, we were just so excited to get our race kits.
No that is not snow in the pic, just something on the lens.
Even though it was not all that warm, it was better then being here in the snow.
Everything was so well organized, we got our race kits and shirts (which thankfully we could exchange because mine was skin tight, not my style) and then checked out all the booths. I did get a new pair of shoes (not to wear on race day) but they were a great price, I also got two running shirts which if you live here or watch my blog will see in the future.
I stayed with Lynda the night of the race as I was not sure how I would get out of where I was staying as they were on the race route, to avoid that Lynda and I stayed together.
I had unpacked all of my stuff and put it in a pile so everything was ready to go.
When Sam and I were waking around Friday night (the night before the race) there were signs posted on the street posts that looked like this in preparation for closing the streets for the race.
The race is held on Saturday and not Sunday because the race officials did not want to inconvenience the geezers (which are the majority in Myrtle Beach) that go to church on Sundays.
Chat away! wow, even Sam looked like he was interested in buying something, and he hates shopping!! It looks like a very nice place, and well organized like you said.
