A Northerner heads South

Running shoes? check.

Water belt? check.

Inhaler? check.

Gu? check

A suit case that is full of running gear? check.


SO here I am trying to figure out what to pack so that I can leave to go to Alabama tomorrow morning. Yes, Alabama. Chet and I will be traveling very early tomorrow morning to Birmingham to spend the weekend with his aunt and uncle. On Sunday, I will get up at the crack of dawn to run the Mercedes Half-Marathon. I'm not very good at packing (which is why it is 11pm here and I will be getting up in 4 hours) and to try and figure out what to bring is a nightmare. I'm sure I've over packed. I'm sure I will not wear half the stuff I brought, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...


Which reminds me...where are my running gloves? Did I pack the Advil? Oh well, back to packing...wish me luck!!!

3 things for my best friend:
1. Happy Birthday
2. I need to teach you how to pack!
3. Good luck on Sunday - you are an inspiration to us all, and no matter your time or place in this or any race, you are always #1.

running gloves?! i can't even imagine.

it was in the 80s this past weekend in LA and i was almost crying from sheer joy at being able to wear a skirt and tank top outside. not to mention how great it feels to run in that kind of weather!
