RnR Montreal Expo

September 27, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 2 Comments

On Saturday we spent nearly the entire late morning/early afternoon making our way through the RnR Montreal Expo.  First stop at the Expo was race bib pickup and then on to t-shirt and swag bag pick up.

Once Neil had checked in and picked up all of his goodies it was time to make our way through the expo.

Our first stop was the Brooks Running game area where we had some fun playing a few games. We even played a competitive game skee ball which I won even with Edie sleeping in the Ergo (and no she didn’t even wake up!) I proudly wore my skee ball championship medal although after seeing Neil’s RnR race medal it wasn’t so impressive, but more on that another day.

After playing some games we made our way through the vendors and spent our time lusting over new running gear, trying some samples and of course getting our photo taken.

As much as I would have liked to have purchased everything in site Neil and I both held off since I am in need of new running shoes, which aren’t cheap. We did however pick up a few Bondi Bands which Edith just had to model for you (don’t worry she won’t be running for beer anytime soon).

Overall I thought that the race expo was really well done.  The layout was perfect and we hit very few congested areas.  I also loved the start of the expo where they had some fun games for us to enjoy.  Now I have only been to the VCM expo besides this one so I don’t have much to compare it to but overall I thought it was really well done.

Rock ‘n’ Roll in Montreal

September 26, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 2 Comments

This past Sunday Neil ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Montreal, Quebec this past weekend. This was his second half marathon and his first international half marathon. We headed up on Friday after Neil got out of work and checked into our airbnb rental which was in the perfect spot just 1.1 km from the Mont Royal Metro Station and surrounded by our favorite shops and restaurants.

We arrived later than expected on Friday night and with a sleepy baby and pouring rain we decided to stay in for the night.  We ordered food from our favorite vegan restaurant Aux Vivres which unfortunately took nearly two hours to finally get because the online ordering/delivery service that they have on their website did not place our order because we were not using a local number and rather than contact us or update our order page we didn’t find this out until 15 minutes after the food should have already arrived which was an hour after we had ordered.

Tired, hungry and frustrated we decided to call Aux Vivres directly and Neil ran out to pick up our order this time.  I was a little frustrated and almost just gave up on getting dinner but I was so glad we did because my Dragon Bowl was just as good as I remembered and the big slice of carrot cake Neil and I shared was delicious.

Unfortunately I don’t have much else to share when it comes to food and sites because the bulk of the weekend was spent at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Montreal Expo and race. We did stop into the Eaton Centre for lunch at the food court and then Saturday night Neil and I picked up a few things to make a pasta dish at the apartment for dinner.

Since this weekend was dedicated to the race we are planning on making another trip up (hopefully) in October so we can spend some time enjoying our favorite eateries and sites.

Stay tuned for RnR recap posts!

This past weekend we made our first international trip with Edith up to Montreal for the RnR Montreal Demi Marathon. Neil and I are going to do a recap of the race and expo this week but until then I’ll leave you with a few photos. I’m exhausted after our weekend away and have a load of dishes and laundry to do but I’ll be back tomorrow!
