Off to the races…

January 5, 2016 by Patricia

Off to the races…

It’s here! The time is here! I have my checklist for packing! I’ve got my logistics worked out!  I’m eating nutritious foods!  I’m getting good sleep!

Tomorrow morning I leave for Walt Disney World to test myself in the Dopey Challenge.

4 races, 4 days, 48.6 miles

I’m a little antsy, but that’s because I haven’t done any kind of workout since Saturday. After all these months of training with hours and miles logged, it feels very strange to not go to the gym or out on the roads.  They tell me that it means I will be revved and ready come race day.

I will try to post my bib numbers along with a link to the app if you want to follow me each day.  That won’t happen until tomorrow evening (Tuesday, January 6th).  Unfortunately, I won’t be able to send out a notification…so check back here!

Bon voyage, me!

And you can still sponsor me:  DONATE!!!
