Packing and the pre-race jitters

One of these days, I would like to train properly for a race. At least three if not four days a week. Fartlek, speed sessions, tempo runs, hills... I’ll eat properly, hydrate properly, keep myself in top physical condition. I’m hoping to hit the Cadbury Marathon in January, so I guess the training will need to start soon. I just don’t know what I’m capable of until I really try.

I packed way too much running gear for the weekend, but I think I’d prefer to have some choices on Sunday morning. I have long pants and some short stretchy compression pants. Three sports bras. Two options for tops. A skirt, in case I feel like it’s the way to go. I’m about to go into my sock drawer and pull out some long stripy socks as well. Just in case. A tutu would have been nice, but I forgot to shop for one. I’ve been so busy.

As far as everything apart from the actual training goes, I’m ready for the City2Surf.

It looks like Sydney has had some pretty brutal winds over the last couple of days. I hope I don’t get blown off the road at the top of Heartbreak Hill. If I do, no big loss. I can catch an updraft and drift off over the ocean. It’s a nice thought. Calming.
