I am organized.

This is scary actually.

I am VERY organized.  It is extremely out of character to be this organized.

Usually, I have a rough idea of how things are going to come together, but this time, I have everything divided into Ziploc bags for each water stop.  Two bottle of Advil, Immodium, Tums 1000, Gu’s, Pretzel sticks, salt, Gatorade and water.  Extra socks are in Ziploc bags, extra shoes, shorts, shirts (if I decided to wear one), visors and bug spray.

I have separate tubs, (MFH calls them bins) for each water stop with the a fore mentioned items divided neatly and organized to be easily accessible when passing by during the visit to the water stop.

This makes me nervous.

I am calm.

This makes me nervous, too.

This is so out of character!

I guess, that during my taper, I spent my down time wisely(?) making mental preparations for tomorrow.  Everything is here.  Everything has it’s place.

I have a couple of coolers.  Lots of Gatorade.  Bottled Water.  Bandannas to put around my neck for cooling.  A table, chairs and canopy to keep the sun off MFH (My Favorite Husband).

I did NOT bring the kitchen sink.

Tomorrow, 8:00 am, I toe the line.

Heat index is being forecast at 105* tomorrow.

31.68 miles…Here we go!
