Impossible is Nothing (Part 1)

So this weekend, after an early Saturday run, I went to the London Marathon Expo. Then on Sunday I went over to watch the marathon. It was amazing!!!

The expo was a lot of fun and there were great deals on running gear (or as they call it here, your "kit"). As I got off of the train, there were all these ads with marathon tips sponsored by Nikeplus. The whole marathon was sponsored by adidas and the theme was "impossible is nothing"...when you walked in there was a wall that said "impossible is nothing" and you could sign your name, or a message. It was kind of neat to see how many people had signed it. (Check out the link there are some cool downloads there). The enormity of the whole expo made me realize how huge this event really was.

One thing that I thought was funny (maybe they do this at all marathon expos...I wouldn't know since this was my first one) was that they gave you a bag with all of the samples from sponsors at the END so that you didn't have to walk around with a bag collecting samples. There was even a can of beer included, which made me laugh!

They had like 15 different designs of T-shirts they were selling and I really couldn't help buying one, even though I felt kind of lame because I wasn't really running the marathon. But I figured I was kind of lame by going to the expo too, so I might as well.

Anyway, the whole thing was very exciting and is pumping me up to run the pig!
