Marine Corps Marathon Expo {in pictures}

My first {working a} marathon & expo experience was a success!  I never realized how much time and effort is dedicated to each event – it really opened my eyes (and as an expo lover, made me really thankful)

I sold shoes (more than I thought I would), met new friends (Jess @ Paceof Me and Jerry @jerrymallison), and saw old friends (After-NUUN delight, baby)

I also had the pleasure of working the VIP porta potty (at 3:45am) – it was quite an experience.  We were dressed in tuxedo shirts.  I was a “butler” – complete with a silver platter, gu chomps on a toothpick, mints and a butler’s towel.  Yes, it was awesome!
