I took the day off today in order to prepare, pack, and get some regular sleep since I've started working a late swing shift. A dear friend has loaned me a real air mattress this year. I am thrilled about that since a camping pad wasn't enough to stay comfortable last year.
I've lost almost 55 pounds since I did the 3 day last year, so I'm hoping that helps me. The fact that I wasn't able to complete the recommended training to build up endurance has me a little stressed, but I feel healthier and stronger than I was last year even though I haven't been able to get in many long walks. I HAVE been exercising and strength training.
I've got my checklist and will be off to WalMart to pick up any last minute items.
I'm a little freaked out at the prospect of having a stranger as a tent mate. "Hi, I don't know you, but let's sleep together in a tent for a weekend". Crossing fingers that it's not terribly awkward. I'll let you know how it goes. Since I'm the sole team member this year, I had no choice but to leave my tent mate selection to fate.
I received another donation today, proof that fundraising efforts can pay off even at the last minute. I am waiting on a company match to come through to take me to the finish line with my fundraising. Even though it hasn't posted yet, the 3 day coaches were able to help me get an extension, since we know it will be posting, just not in time for the event and my online check in last week.
