Yep, I will send out contact info to everyone who has PMed me probably Monday to give people the weekend.

I am at my parent's house tonight to drop off the dog and running a fun 10k with my sister tomorrow (in costume in the rain most likely) then Sunday is packing day after my last pool swim.

I think the only thing left to buy is a can of fix a flat for the tubulars and small bags of chips for special needs.  Found that my Mom had little snack sized ziploc bags in her kitchen which just about made my night, no need to buy those now. Just a few loose ends to tie up in terms of emails to family and friends with tracking info and I should be good to go.  Just ready for Wednesday to get here which is travel day!

Whoo Hoo - the rain stopped.  Off for my last longish ride (2.5 hrs)  NO TRAINER!

OK - snow in Maryland in October.  Really.  Last ride on the trainer then.  Hardly replicating race conditions for next weekend ...

At least I'm not doing the Marine Corps Marathon tomorrow in the slush !

We're looking at 6-10 inches here.  I'm looking to get out and run this morning before it starts.

Wow SNOW!!!  I don't miss living in the north, but always enjoyed running in winter up there.  Moved to SC 6 years ago and no regrets. 

FYI Walmart has a fix a flat thing that is $5 a can.  You can find it in the bike section

Still need to figure out what I'm eating and how.  Going to go do some panic induced impulse shopping at REI this weekend.  (rookie move, I know...)

Other big one for me is still figuring out if one of my kids is coming with us, or staying with grandparents.  Need to know if he has a test on wed or thurs and he's being slow to find out.  He's almost out of time and is going to miss sunny PCB and hang out with Nana and the cats...

I'm excited!!!!

Whoop Whoop a week from now...I'd love to be out of the swim

....and now for the lighter side of IM! Proof of having packed and ensuring maximum recovery nutrition.....thanks to my "sponsor", Narragansett Beer. Look out out for a Narragansett sign after the race and stop by for a free beer

AWESOME!!!  Thanks for the smile.  I needed it.  dreadful week.

I wouldn't miss it for the world!!! an Ice Cold Brew is what I will be looking for at the finish line!!

I used an app last year which automatically updated facebook, the guy provided it free for IMFL 10 competitors as he was just setting up and wanted tested.

It was great to read all of the comments the next day.

Earlier this year, the guy sent a note saying that WTC was not allowing him access to the IM Live records - another example of big bad WTC being......
