Today for my 44 I did a simple move – reverse hip thrusters.

I didn’t get much height from my hips – sort-of in conserve mode.
It’s finally the day. Instead of eating dinner with my family tonight, I will be standing on the starting line for my first ultra race!!!
Check out the awesome signs that Stacy (my super incredible sis-in-law) and Hays & Isabel made – 
Stacy sent a text with those this morning – one of the many times I wish we lived closer so they were actually here!!! And, yes, already cried today!!!
By the time I do my next 44 and make my next post, I will have run 50 miles!!!
I just need to finish getting all of my gear together.
- compression socks x3
- knuckle lights – so cool, can’t wait to run with them
- head lamp – not as cool, probably gonna give me a killer bruise on my head
- camelbacks x2 – added a 2nd one yesterday so that I can just switch out
- Hershey bars
- orange slices
- a few bags of the energy jelly beans
- DOTS – chewy candy
- Gymboss timer – I’m going with the run/walk and don’t want to have to think about it or keep up with it and thanks to my timer I don’t have to
- Sony headphone walkman
- GPS – I’m not going to obsess over my pace but I want to know my exact time and distance
- extra clothes – jackets, tights, rain ponchos, shorts, shirts, sports bras….
- foam roller – for the 100 mile drive home after!
- camera
- phone
- extra batteries
Sheesh – I should just go ahead and carry my laptop with all that other stuff. Good thing I don’t have to carry it all with me – some will be with Chris for various stops.
I would like to say that I will be tweeting while I’m out there but we all know I am the most lame twitter user ever. Feel free to send me tweets if you find yourself awake in the middle of the night!!!
One final check of my stuff and then a bit of relaxing before we head out.
Happy Saturday – see you in 50 miles!!!
Kim
