To be honest, I haven't gotten any further in my packing than I was at last night. Luckily, everything that I have left to pack I can't do until after I shower and stuff tomorrow morning. Tonight I have plans to carb load...hehe any excuse I'll take it... at Redrossa with an old-coworker. We may or may not head to one of my favorite restaurants for some delicious drinks at Ladies' Night prices.
Behold, my running outfits for the race. I wish I could tell you
this was all I was packing, but I'd be lying. In addition to the stuff I'll be wearing on my legs, I also have track jackets, some sweats, extra socks, etc. There is a chance I'll be sitting on my suitcase at 9am tomorrow morning to help it zip/close. SO MUCH CRAP! I am excited to break out my new tanks though for the race. Whoo. Oh btw, the ceramic frog planter is not coming to Colorado with me. I was just too lazy to move it out of the way. :p
Today I got to leave work at noon so I could get everything in order for the trip. Since it was still nice and cool and I had plans for this evening, I took advantage and did my last run before the relay. I had an easy 4 miles to do. My legs were still slightly tight, so it made it easier to go at a slower pace. However, 75*F may SEEM cool, but when the sun is out in full force, I become a sweating banshee. Ah yi yi.
I did 4 miles in 37:40 for an avg. pace of 9:25.
1. 9:27
2. 9:28
3. 9:18
4. 9:25
After I got done running, I felt some yoga was in order to help loosen up the muscles. I forget about how great yoga makes me feel. Definitely something I need to incorporate more into my routine.
I guess this is my last post until I'm back from the mountains. I'll whip up some race reports faster than you can say, "sweet Jesus, why did I sign up for this relay!?!?!"
