Yesterday was Day One of the Beach to Beacon Expo. It was interesting to say the least. The only running expo I have for comparison is the Boston Marathon Expo which is much larger than B2B. The Hall Steps Foundation was recognized by more people in Boston, but people in Cape Elizabeth yesterday were still excited to hear about the goals and progress of the foundation. Our t-shirt sales were a bit lower than I had expected, but Day Two starts in a few hours, and I'm optimistic for a larger crowd of enthusiastic supporters.
Being involved in the Expo has put my training on hold once again, meaning my legs haven't been moving in the last two days and it is unlikely that I will be out running this morning, considering the incredible heat that has already presented itself for the day. I was interviewed yesterday for a small article in the local newspaper about the Beach to Beacon race and although we talked about the Steps Foundation at length, he choose to quote me about my training for tomorrows race instead. I may have told him that I had been training, but I sure wasn't lying about embarrassing myself tomorrow!
