Runners, friends, and families flocked to the Westfield Plaza Camino Real<\/a><\/strong> parking lot today to pick up numbers, t-shirts, gift bags, and load up on socks, energy bars, and self-massaging devices in the Carlsbad Marathon Health and Fitness Expo<\/a><\/strong>. We rolled by the big white tent to see what was going on the day before the stampede<\/a><\/strong>. Click the link<\/a> for all the photos, and click the photos to see them at full size.<\/p>\n


\n\"Img<\/a>
\nEvery runner has a number. . .<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nTerra<\/strong> and Sky<\/strong> getting Naked samples out to the masses.<\/p>\n

\nSeems half the reason people run these Marathons is for the free T-shirts.<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nOf course, this is the one everyone wants, but it only goes to the finishers.<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nYou’d think people would already have some of these before they show up for the race. . . .<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nThe last bit of shade these people are going to see for a while.<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nNo doubt the most comfortable way to cruise the course tomorrow. The Lexus of Carsbad Official Pace Car of the 2008 Carlsbad Marathon.<\/p>\n

\"Img<\/a>
\nNo, it’s not DIA. It’s the pre-race health expo. . . Bedouin style.<\/p>\n

These things are going to be so full of s*#& tomorrow, we don’t even want to think about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
