Half Fanatics Membership & Packing Procrastination

Tweet

Aha! I've finally gotten something for all these races I've done, I've been accepted into the Half Fanatics! Okay it's actually not that big of a deal and I'm only at the "Neptune" level which I achieved for running 3 half marathons in 22 days back in November. Anyways, I've put a widget right here on my blog so click on the Half Fanatics logo or here and check it out!

One week from now I'll be having my pre race dinner in Boulder City getting ready to run around Lake Mead. And two weeks from now we will be checking into our Disneyland hotel, exciting stuff ahead! 

I'm looking forward to the trip but I'm starting to get nervous about packing and my last week of training. Basically I'll be packing for 3 separate climates (Palm Springs, Las Vegas/Boulder City, Anaheim). How is one supposed to accomplish that and fit all your running gear, husbands clothing, toddler clothes, and other child related gear into two suitcases?! This may be more of a challenge than the actual marathon...

Here's what I've accomplished so far arrrghh:

Two runs are planned for this weekend, both are 10kms, I'm so looking forward to tapering, the last few weeks have all been pretty much half marathon distances. Now is the time to "sit back and relax"? Wait that doesn't sound right... Okay but I'm only doing two 10km runs, that's not so bad. 

Well here's hoping running at 7:30am tomorrow isn't as chilly as last week:

Stay tuned for a book review on "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb hopefully tomorrow. I'd also like to get a baking post in before I leave but I'm not making any promises!
