It’s RACE WEEK!! And not just any race week, but a Racecation Race Week! Starting Friday, I am Savannah, GA bound for Rock n Roll Savannah!!
This weekend I will be running my very first Rock n Roll race(s) and I am super excited! I’ve always heard amazing things about Rock n Roll races and finally, I get my chance to experience one for myself. And so far, everything I have experienced has been amazing. I love receiving frequent updates from races (I’m a bit of an obsessive over planner and tend to worry over small details) so the updates have been super welcome. In fact, yesterday, I received 3 Final Preparations Updates (one for each race that I am registered for).

| The shirt’s I’ll be earning! That Peach KILLS me!! |
So here’s the plan. Friday, I leave Rock Hill with a group of amazing friends who have all run this race before (there will be 5 of us total) and will hit up the Expo. Then, we are spending the night with the MIL of one of my friends, so that is awesome. Saturday morning, it is up bright and early for the Half Marathon – 3 of us are running the whole thing with the other 2 doing the Relay and sharing the miles.

| I’m personally earning 3 of these beauties! |
Saturday after the race, who knows what adventures we’ll embark on. I’ve only been to Savannah twice ever (once 15 years ago and once when I was 9) so I have no idea what to do. If you have any suggestions, let me know in the comments!

| PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Then Sunday afternoon, we head back to the Race Site and 4 of us will be running the 5K and thus earning the Remix Medal. Then, 2 of us will be also doing the 1 Mile earning a pie for the Sweet Georgia Pie Challenge. You heard (read) that right, I GET A PIE!!
Overall, I am super excited about both the race and the trip. I’m trained and ready (well as ready as I’ll ever be). I’m still trying to decide my strategy for the Half, but since I scored me a pretty decent PR earlier this year and have like a billion races coming up, PLUS start Marathon training next week, I feel like I am going to run this pretty conservatively. But then again, as soon as the start sounds, my dumb self will probably run all out. But no matter my time, I know it’s going to be an awesome race and an awesome weekend.

| Here’s what I’ll look like, be sure to say HI! |
I’ll be rocking out bright BibRave Orange shirts for all 3 races and a BibRave Trucker Hat for the Expo, so if you see me there, be sure to stop me and say Hi!! Also, I am sure I will be posting a ton of pictures on both my Twitter and Insta, so if you don’t already follow me, make sure you do. Links below:
