My race outfit is all layed out and (almost) ready to go!
The only thing I am thinking of changing is:
1) My hat– I may see if I can purchase one today that is better ventilated and made specifically for running. I would be very sad about giving up my lucky hat though, but I also don’t want to overheat. Luckily the weather is only supposed to be a cool 16C in the morning!
2) I might put ohsheglows.com on the shorts, but not sure
3) I might purchase some Cliff shots or something for energy. Tips??

My favourite Lululemon bra (I think it is a ‘Flow’ bra):

Representing the GREEN MONSTERS!

I still need to clip on the HR sensor on the band.

Moleskin– essential!!!
I need to charge my MP3 player…
Knee sleeves (I think I had a dream about these last night!), Wrightsocks, foot pod.

I am fueling up on lots of carbs and protein today!
I had a huge bowl of cereal this morning with two of my favourite cereals.
Let’s zoom in, shall we?

God only knows what was wrong with this box to make them sell it for $1! LOL
Yes, I got this cereal for $1 on sale!! I got 3 boxes, and wish I got more! It is SO good! It is higher in calories, so I typically use it as a ‘cereal topping’. I also added 2 tablespoons of hulled hemp seed which gave me an additional 12 grams of protein. I LOVE hemp!!! Aside from my new love for chia, hemp ranks right up there. It is actually better tasting and has a better texture than chia, but I like chia for all of the great nutritional benefits.
RUNNING POWER:
mmmmm

I love this glass bowl from dollarstore…the only problem is the square corners make it harder to get all the cereal out of the bottom! ;)

I had it with an Amazing Grass GM- 1/2 scoop chocolate meal infusion with 1 tablespoon wheatgrass powder + 1/2 cup soy milk + 1 cup water:

Good luck with your run!
Hey Angela! Quick question about the foot pod, does it work work with the polar hrm?? thanks!
Jocelyn
Angela! You outfit is soo cute. do you mind me asking where you got your yellow sports bra??? I just adore that fit!!
Ange, from which store did you buy the cereal?!
Good luck!
Good luck with your race! Way to prep yourself and be ready! One question, what is that black band around your shirt? What’s it used for? I think I’ve seen them around before, but I’m really curious now?
Have a blast!
xo,
keri
I was just wondering if you have a lucky charm you wear during your races?
Hi all!
To answer your questions…
1) Yellow bra is from Lululemon (www.lululemon.com) I love it- but its not for those who need lots of support (not me! lol)
2) Yup, The foot pod is for my Polar HRM
3) The strap around my chest is my heart rate monitor strap. It is the device that measures my heart rate and transmits it to my watch. :)
4) Lucky charm- last time I wore 2 necklaces but they got tangled so I won’t be doing that again! This time I will wear my wedding rings again and my diamond stud earrings. :)
Hope I got all of them!
Do you think you might be getting too much protein?
Good luck!!! I love your shorts–where’d ya get them?
My advice about Clif gels/other nutrition…Nothing new on race day!! If you haven’t tried them before, I don’t recommend trying them for the first time during the race.
