... I did it! I completed my Run to Disney Christmas morning.
Sunny, You rule! I think I NEED those tights you got. Im going to have to see where I can find more $ for this easy sport!
Im with everyone posting
race thoughts are now in every second of my mind. Getting really excited!
Lisa, hope you are enjoying things in NM. It is great that you could have a partner to run with you (even if it gets a bit tense at times), and that you got that awesome Christmas present.
All those involved, tee hee on the tapering routine (couch and cookies).
Craig, you lucky one you to have your own rabbit when it will be needed the most. I will be looking for those around me to get me home.
Tif, bring everything. At least race clothing. I am and will decide the night before I try to sleep what I will have for the event. You have some time before turning in your bags for check-in. However, there will still be wait time as the approach to the corrals is another holding area that you must pass through security check. Halfers left their bags at a bus, and fullers have tents to leave their bags after security check point, but that was when the events were the same day. Not sure how this will run now.
I am made fun of along the trails I run. I have so much stuff hanging about my waist and such that many call it my tool belt and chuckle onward as they pass me. I give many a smile as I trek onward. So, fashion statement I will not be. (I will carry my waist pack with gu, lip gloss, wet naps, my outer belt will have my cell and camera and probably one amphipod water bottle. I think I can get away with only one and fill as I go since there will be water stops. This bottle will be for the time I cant wait for the stop.
Packing list, I need one
I must develop my list too. Eek!
I did my 10 mile LR very slow pace. I am still hoping that I can eek out the event. I will do the remaining during the week times a bit faster and still within taper zone effort. I hope this will be sufficient. Oh well, cant do anything about that now.
