New Day Northwest & the Seattle Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon Expo
Tracy Harper, Terri Hall, and I attended a taping of the show New Day Northwest in downtown Seattle. Ali Vincent was one of the guests. Since I am running with her at the half-marathon, I thought it would be fun to get the three of us tickets to the show. After the taping we went out to lunch. We had a pleasant time visiting and enjoying the café located in Fremont Terri found for us. Tracy and Terri then dropped me off at the marathon expo and drove home.

The marathon expo is located at CenturyLink Field Event Center. I love this expo. It is well organized with lots of different booths and sample giveaways. I missed the lecture given by John Bingham, the self pro-claimed penguin, because it was rescheduled an hour sooner than advertised. Lucky for me, he was hosting the other speakers, so I was still able to meet him. He autographed my copy of his book and I took picture taken with him. It looks rather goofy.

Previously unknown to me, Ali Vincent was also speaking at the expo. I decided to stay for her lecture. Meanwhile, I visited with my two new friends. Ali was so much fun to listen to. She talks non-stop and you wonder where the time goes. I can see why she was chosen to be on Biggest Loser and why she has her own show. It was a fun day that went by too quickly. I didn’t see everything at the expo but I met two new friends and had wonderful conversations.
