Welcome to the Weekly Wrap!
This linkup is hosted by yours truly and my good friend Tricia at MissSippiPiddlin. The purpose of this link is to connect with and support other active women.
You can summarize your whole week or just a small portion of it. It's up to you! Race recaps are also encouraged! {See rules} We hope you'll challenge yourself to come back later in the week and interact with more women. It's a wonderful way to make new friends!

I didn't do much of a taper since I decided to go to this race only one week prior. My Tuesday morning 5 miler was a struggle. I was tired and it was very humid between thunderstorms. I did see the full moon set which was pretty awesome. I cut back my miles on Thursday to 3.5. This run felt much better, but so was the weather -- a nice breathable 40 degrees. I skipped my Saturday run. Ready or not, Rock N' Roll here I come!
I arrived at the expo Friday evening with 20 minutes to spare and breezed through quickly to find black arm warmers. As a bonus, I was happy to find the 26.2 Christmas ornament to match my 13.1. The only thing I can complain about is the T-shirt. Upon my arrival at the expo, they asked what size I wanted and made me write that on my bib. I walked around the corner to pick up the T-shirt and realized it was way too small They wouldn't let me change it. (If I had selected my size in advance, I could understand.) Tricia just happened to be finishing up at the expo when I arrived. This Jester was odd to say the least...
We met Tricia and her husband later that evening for a little adult socializing. FUN -- and I'll just leave it there. {What happens in NOLA, stays in NOLA.} Saturday was spent sightseeing including a great horse drawn carriage tour. Overall, we had a fun weekend in New Orleans. The food was delicious. The weather was perfection. It made me wish I was in PR shape. Timing is everything! I'll save my thoughts on the Rock N' Roll race itself for another post.
If this post seems unfinished, it's because we stayed too long in New Orleans!
