What a gorgeous day for a final "long" run before the marathon! 9 miles like it ain't no thing. I rocked my compression socks and sleeves. The Starbucks crew asked me why I was sporting Britney workout attire. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.
The packing list for the marathon makes me crazy. For those that don't know me (why would you be reading this?), I'm a planner. I've already started laying out my clothes, goos, socks, and extra shoes for the trip next Friday. I'll obsess about the little things I could forget until I get on the plane. Tomorrow, I'll go pick up my throw away clothes for the chilly wait on Staten Island before the race.
For those of you that have asked, my bib number is 51807. I'm in orange - wave 3 and my start time is 10:40. The athlete tracker system is different this year and they are charging to get text/email alerts. You can sign in the day of the race for free and track whether I survive this thing. I'll trust that if you're my friend, you're clever enough to follow the directions on the website below.

7 more days, Team KC. S-E-V-E-N.
It was a compliment! They would never equate your look to Britney if you weren't attractive. Unless you happened to be drunk during her drunk lip-synching stage. Which you weren't.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I am so thrilled for you!
