Why is it that kids just keep growing??? Suddenly my boys are in capris and 3/4 length shirts and it.just.won’t.warm.up.
So, I spent my morning running around trying to find Jones some pants to wear. Sigh.
While I was at it, I also bought myself some undies. Why? Because I apparently have enough running bras to color coordinate my outfits and still leave two weeks worth of bras at home, but I don’t have enough underwear for a 10 day trip. Seriously.
It’s getting real up in here. I leave tomorrow for the five half marathons in five days. Trying to pack for myself and Beer Geek while preparing everything for my parents to watch the boys MAY make my head pop off. At least they are old enough not that there’s a chance they can tell my parents where I store things or how to get to soccer practice. A chance, anyways.
And this is what my suitcase looks like:
I’m ready to run, but I’m not sure where the rest of my stuff is supposed to go. Good thing we are driving.
The plan is peanut butter and jelly for every breakfast. (Did you know jelly doesn’t need to be refrigerated? Life changing info, I tell you!) Nuun and Ultima during the races. A coke (they are the mini ones) and Muscle Milk after. The rest of the food is for snacking and for adding to the sandwiches we hope to pick up each day for lunch. Dinner we’ll have out each night.
And, is anyone surprised I’m taking beer???
Three days until the first race!!!!
Ooooohhhh!!! It’s getting real, isn’t it!
Great food plan. You are so lucky you are driving. Well, except for the 13 hours in the car part.
I’m going to blame your photo and not the fact that I’m getting old and have to squint… what are the “Simply Snackin” things?
I hope you have a great trip! I can’t wait to read all about the races!!
Wow you are super organized! Do you drink muscle milk after your workout runs or just races? I used it a few years back then kind of lost interest.
So much planning! I’m impressed with your mad packing skills. All those race kits in their separate zip-lock bags. I am never that organised. But then, I’m never likely to run that many races in that few days.
You have everything so organized! I get stressed packing for one race when I have to travel for it! It sounds like so much fun though!
I agree with the others – seriously impressed with your packing skills. Traveling for one race makes me a little crazy so I cannot imagine organizing for 5! Have a great trip – looking forward to hearing about how it all goes!
Very exciting indeed! I am well equipped and geared for traveling and running. It is due to years of experience of traveling to races all over the country. Especially stage races and long ultras taught me to pack well and be ready. You must have lots of fun and enjoy the experience. All the best!
