Afternoon, I hope today has been pleasant! I have been a busy bee this morning! One of the things I have been working on is packing for my marathon trip. that’s right folks, I leave a week from TODAY! Very excited but very nervous as well!
Anyway, I am petrified I am going to do something stupid like forget to pack running socks or something so I decided to make a packing list and pack all my race day gear in a separate bag so it’s all right there and ready to go!
So, behold…THE LIST!
-Running shoes (MOST IMPORTANT!)
-running socks/compression socks
-running skirt(s)
-running tights
-long sleeved shirt
-short sleeved shirt
-tank top
-running outerwear
-throw away outerwear
-gloves
-hat
-sunglasses
-body glide
-athletic tape
-IT band strap
-Garmin/charger
-camera/charger
-multiple GU’s
-hot hands
-hair ties and clips
-sunscreen
-sunglasses
-sports bra
-tissue
-chap stick
-needed medications
-band aids
-extra safety pins
-spibelt
-yurbuds (I probably won’t use)
-iPhone/pod/charger
-banana and breakfast bars
-arm band/holder for iPod/iPhone (I probably won’t use)
Is that all? I am probably leaving out something totally obvious but these are the things I have packed so far JUST for the actual race. WOAH that’s a lot of stuff when you think about it. I also will be packing things like other running shoes to walk around in after and before, foam roller, etc. etc. But I think this about covers the necessities! Bobby and I have the luxury of driving so we can take as much crap in my monster SUV as we please. This is a MAJOR plus to us as a reason to drive!
QOTD: Did I leave anything off the list?
