Napa Marathon Weekend
Although Napa is fairly close by, J and I decided to make a short getaway out of our trip. On Saturday, we met up at the Runner’s Expo in the Napa Marriott. There we picked up our bibs, our duffel bags and tech shirts. The lines weren’t too long and things were well organized. I…
