3  DAYS | 9 HRS | 42 MINS | 5 SECONDS

      

Three days to go until race day, I can't sleep, the mileage runs through my head over and over...

I ran in the Manitoba Marathon but I have not actually ran 26.2 miles. 24.49 is the longest distance I have ran, this will really be a new experience for me.
Today is February 14th and I have started packing to go. I have put everything that I need to run in my carry on bag so that if the airline loses my baggage I will still have the running gear I am used to.
Here is the start of my packing, I am an over packer and always have been, I travel to Winnipeg often and I even pack outfits that I have not worn in a long time just in case I may need them, I never need as much as I pack.



I haven't worn much of this gear since the weather was much warmer, months ago. But I know this is the gear that will get me across the finish line.


We leave in 2 days for South Carolina, and before I know it I we will be back, and planning the next challenge.
