Your Marathon Checklist
Last Saturday after the group run, I bought a few things at Fleet Feet—another pair of socks, a few carb gels. In the bag was a slip of cardstock on which was printed “Your Marathon Checklist!” (I don’t have it in front of me now, so I don’t know if the exclamation point was included, but seeing as how all runners are unbearably chipper, I assume it was.)
Most of the items on the checklist are pretty standard: carb gels, Gatorade, various components of running outfit, etc. Except this one: “Directions to Start.” Wow, I mean, do they know me? Fortunately this race is big enough that I can just follow the crowd, but otherwise? I’d be screwed without those kind folks at Fleet Feet looking out for me.
We hit Indy tomorrow around 1pm, giving us plenty of time to pick up our race packets, check out the Expo, eat vast amounts of pasta, play with the world’s cutest baby, and rise and shine at the crack of dawn on Saturday. This is gonna be an amazing weekend.*
Mini, here I come!!!!
