In preparation for The Paris Marathon, I completed my first 20 mile run / hobble last Friday. It went remarkably well and now the reality is setting in that Paris is actually happening. GULP.

After my run on Friday, I needed to eat pizza and stretch immediately. So here I am, the minute after I got home, with my legs up the wall (or stove). While I look ridiculous, stretching like this helps release toxins. And the pizza is self explanatory!

O.M.G. It is really happening. And I cannot wait. LOOK AT THIS DREAM! My GOAL!
The following items are things that I cannot live without on my long distance training runs.
