Dallas Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon Expo

Today was packet pick up day for the Dallas Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon. I usually go to the expo on Friday to avoid crowds and never have enough time to spend there. Rock 'n Roll normally puts on a great event, and this year was no exception, though it was a little cramped. The expo has traditionally been in a much bigger space at the Dallas Convention center, but there was another event going on at the same time.

Sheer joy after winning my free smoothie!

People and free samples were abundant. I won a free smoothie at the Jamba Juice booth, scored tons of bags of chips and energy bars, and met lots of great people. Oh yeah, and I got my bib and race t-shirt too!

The highlight of the afternoon was meeting Joe Taracani. If you don't know his name, you are missing out. Joe is the host of The Marathon Show, a broadcast of the races he runs where he interviews the audience. Joe claims that listening to his show will make you smarter, faster and more famous. I haven't tested any of those out yet, but he is one of the most endearing people I know. His excitement for the sport is contagious. If you ever see his bright orange shirt and "On Air" sign, make sure to say hi!
