Chapter 2 page 469–St. Louis RnR expo

Let me just say that I don’t have the photos from the other gals yet and they took WAY better pix than I so . . .  I’ll share those that I have and add the others in as I get them (might be several weeks – hee hee). 

Apparently not all RnR race expos are the same.  St. Louis was about 1/4 the size of Chicago’s – bummer!  Oh well, itt was still WAY better than the Columbus expo!!!!

Here are a few pix from our drive to St. Louis and at the expo (enjoy!):

Stopped for lunch at a Cheeseburger in Paradise (my inaugural visit)

L:  America’s Got Talent auditions were held in the same location on Saturday so the room was already set up (glad we missed all those crowds and neurotic parents); R:  “L” pointing to the restroom sign – gotta go!

  5. What a cool looking run. The RNR series is so great. I did San Diego & Virginia Beach. They put on great races.
