Getting Ready...Packing



Where to begin...I have so much to say...This was a truly amazing experience! It has been a month since I walked the Susan G. Komen 3-Day in Atlanta. I apologize for not blogging earlier, but needed time to recover from the the event and I had to jump right back into my job and family life. I will say that the journey was worth it!  I had originally planned to blog about each of the days, but I have broken it down into several different posts.  I hope you have enjoyed my journey just as much as I have!

I guess I'll start with packing.  Packing for the 3-Day was a chore!  I had been to several clinics on how to pack and what to pack, but actually packing was a different story.  Your bag can only weigh 35 lbs and that must include your sleeping bag/pad/mattress.  I rented my sleeping bag and pad from REI.  Mom came up a day early and I'm glad that she was there to help me pack.


Yes, that's my check list.  I was so thankful for a check list!!  My youngest son told me that I had a big mess and "No one's gonna help you clean it up!"  I did eventually get my mess cleaned up and everything into my bag.  I did take somethings that I could have left at home and then there were something I wish I had took.  We do live and learn, so I feel that I'll pack better for next year!



We all got a good nights sleep and were up by 5 am to load, eat break fast, and arrive at Stone Mountain between 6-7 am. 

Now, it's time for Opening Ceremony and the start of Day 1!!
