Travel Day To Nashville Marathon

We'll be leaving for Nashville w/in the next few hours. Holy Moly----I'll be running a marathon in exactly 24 hrs (my computer says it's 7am)!!!!!

Today I'll hyrdrate, hydrate, hydrate (does Starbucks count in that equation??). Our drive will be about 5 hrs, so not bad. We decided to check into the hotel first, and leave Maxx there while we head over to the Expo. Temps and humidity are suppose to be high this afternoon, so I don't want to leave Maxx in the car.

After the expo I plan to lay my stuff out, go over the route and last minute directions for my support team/Gu boy Ben, hop in the pool for a bit, stretch, then get some sleep. Which, getting sleep will be the hardest part, I'll be so excited I'm not sure how well I'll sleep tonight. I did get a hotel room w/two double beds so I can stretch out and have a bed to myself. It'll be interesting to see who Maxx will decide to sleep with. I figured two beds was a good idea (both pre and post marathon) because a bed can get cramped w/me, Ben (who's 6'4'' and requires room) and Maxx (who's 86 lbs of puppy love!!).

Off to the race's!!!!!!
