Recaps coming soon on my days volunteering at the Hartford Marathon, but I LOVED it! It was such a great experience and it was awesome to see so many people that I know from when I used to work up there!
Unfortunately with two long days on my feet and traveling back and forth to Connecticut I didn’t get in nearly as much running as I would have liked, but I did test out a pair of Swiftwick arm sleeves today! Thinking about using them for Marine Corp depending on the weather.
NEXT WEEK (10/14-10/20)
I’d love to get in a bit of a longer run early in the week and then it’s time to focus on pre-marathon taper! Yoga, foam rolling, stretching & hydrating!
Can’t wait to hear more about your volunteering experience, it looked amazing. I tested out arm sleeves this weekend, too. I don’t think I’m a fan. . .but it will depend on how cold it is!
Yeah, I agree, I didn’t love them, but I didn’t hate them. I do think if the weather is somewhere between long sleeve and tank top (I hate running in short sleeves!) they may be a good race day option for me.
LOL Love that photo! 🙂 You look super speedy in those sleeves!
I’m curious to hear about volunteering at a major race. I volunteered at a very small local 5k and I have to admit it was kind of boring! I imagine a bigger race would be way different.
Yeah, I bet the size of the race makes a difference. I had such a good time, but man was I exhausted – you would have thought I’d run the race!
Those sleeves totally make you look faster. For an even faster look, possibly flames coming off the back? Think about it.
Love that. Going to look for some iron on flames today. : )
