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!!
