BUT, I probably won't buy any before the race, I will just use it on the course if I need it! I am going to try to get to the meetup by 3:30 but I will definitely be there before 5!!! :) Karen Orozcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119330782581322240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-61967397550994133552014-02-03T17:22:44.246-08:002014-02-03T17:22:44.246-08:00Are you talking about shipping the Bio Freeze? It ...Are you talking about shipping the Bio Freeze? It is similar to bengay and you can buy it at Walmart. If you are concerned with packing it on the plane because it is a gel, I can bring you some and give it to you at the meet up. I have lots of sample packets I can pack. You will probably get some in your swag bag (or can pick up samples at the expo). Also they will have big tubs of it along the race course as well. I will be at the meet up till about 5, then we need to head to Epcot for a dinner reservation! Hope to see you there but if not, I will be right behind you in the corral for PHM.

The most surreal moment for me, though, was when I gave my husband a kiss good bye at the pre-race area and started the 20-min walk to the corrals; everything just really set in that moment! I seriously cannot wait to read all about your time there, and your first half - it is SUCH an exciting time!

This we'll be my first as well! So excited for PHM. I really hope your knee does start to get better, though. I would agree on trying to stay away from the TM. I never use it for long runs, only short, because the /only/ time my knee tweaks is on the treadmill.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195698604225616132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-14934264415306763482014-02-01T13:01:51.328-08:002014-02-01T13:01:51.328-08:00Haha, my BFF is a Dr. Who geek and it was her favo...Haha, my BFF is a Dr. Who geek and it was her favorite part of the post as well! ;) Yay!

I think I'll be fine, I just have to keep myself from going overboard before the race. I feel like I have it in me to go the 13 but once I do it, I'm going to be hurting for a while. Same reason I won't take the miles up too much right now because I think I wouldn't recover before the race if I did that. You will do great tomorrow!
