While Hope Express doesn't begin for another 48 hours (HOPE EXPRESS IS IN 48 HOURS!!!), I am all packed and as ready as I can be to go! Ryan is picking me up from work tomorrow and we are headed straight to Penn State, with a slight detour to Akron to pick up fellow Extreme Runner, Allie. On Thursday (after hopefully a wonderful and longggg night's sleep), we'll head out to Harrisburg and eventually to the start line at Hershey Medical!
Right now, the weather is looking pretty good, with just some rain on Thursday. Hopefully it won't be more than some drizzling, especially since there are SO many exciting things going on at the first few handoffs around the start/Hershey/Harrisburg. Otherwise, we're looking at 40's and sunny on Friday. I have certainly packed (or attempted to pack) for anything mother nature may throw my way.
So what goes into packing for such an event?
- Three complete running outfits (with some options!) and two pairs of sneakers
- Between-runs uniform of leggings, track pants, and several layers on top to help keep warm/help regulate the radical changes in body temperature
- SNACKS! - Peanut butter and jelly, gu's, bananas, and granola bars
- Letters of love and encouragement from family and friends
- Foam roller!
- A lot of faith :O)
