This time tomorrow I will be (hopefully) finishing the NJ Marathon. Exciting Stuff!
I can’t really write down what I am feeling about tomorrow but I do want to thank you for everyone who is rooting for me! And thanks for the pep-talks from everyone in the last couple of weeks.
After gchatting/texting with Meggie and Dorothy (RC) yesterday, I feel more ready for this marathon than I ever thought I would be. I have a race plan together which I thought about sharing with y’all, but let’s be honest, race plans NEVER go as planned. Overall, I have a good idea of what pace I need to be at during the race, and where I need to take in my liquids/gels.
So I’m feel okay.
Since I will be taking a train at 5:00 a.m tomorrow morning from NYC to get to the start line in NJ, I have created quite the packing list. Here is what I am taking:
“The Necessities”
(1)Clif Shot Mocha (2)Shower Pill Wipes (3)GoGoSqueez Apple-banana (4)Garmin (5)Yurbuds (6)Free CEP Sunglasses (7)Carmex Chapstick (8)Trident Gum (9)Banana Boat Sport Sunscreen (10)Fruit Punch Nuun (11)Sparkly Soul Headband (12)Bodyglide
“The Outfit”
(1)AE Sports Bra from Marshalls (2)Nike Fast Pace Tank (3)Athleta Presto Short (4)Nathan Sport Water Bottle (5)CEP Compression Socks (6)Mizuno Wave Creation 13
“For Afterwards”
Just kidding. I will be eating wayyyy more food than that.
