Packing!!

I feel like I'm packing everything but the kitchen sink!! I just got done showing Andy where everything is and putting it all in my bag. Now all I have to do tomorrow is get my food ready and *try* to relax.
I'm feeling a little anxious today...wondering if I have everything I need, if the weather is going to cooperate (it's iffy right now...UPDATE: WOO HOO, now they are calling for an isolated thunder storm!!), etc. But on top of the anxiety there is plenty of excitement!! My Crew and Pacers are the best of the best, members of the running club will be coming down to cheer us on, and most importantly, I have the greatest fellow Lone Rangers a person could ask for running along side me on Saturday.

Now before I go gorge myself on brown rice (mmmm, carbo loading), here are some pictures of the Crew shirts and some of what I just packed.

Shirt for KT and Pumpkin


Shirt for The Great El Andyo


Items include:
4 pairs of shoes (changing once, but packing back up in case of rain), sun screen, towels, reflective vests, change of clothes (shorts, shirts, socks, undies...we all know my past), medical stuff, Glide, wind breaker, blah, blah

Less than 48 hours to go kids...I'M SO READY!
