The day I've been training for since June...the Soaring Wings Half Marathon in Conway!
I've been getting everything ready tonight since we need to be up and on the road early tomorrow morning. Gary took me to Carinos for dinner, so I could load up on carbs for tomorrow. I had the "chicken bow tie festival" and lots of bread. Yum!
After dinner I had to go grab some "Gu" at Academy. It's a gel you can eat every 45 minutes to help put some calories and energy back in your body throughout the race. The taste is nothing to brag about, but these little packets make a world of difference to my stamina.
Yesterday some clients/sweet friends brought a goody bag to the salon to wish me luck on my race. It was filled with water, energy drinks and tablets, antioxidant enhanced drink mixes, and joint health twist tubes for soreness. It really made my day to know I have friends and family cheering me on!
So, I think I'm all set for tomorrow. Wish me luck! Maybe this race will spur me to train for a full marathon some day soon...
