20 Miler To Do List

Here's a list of things to do, it will be a miracle if I can manage to do all of them. In brackets for each item is the likelihood that I will actually remember to do it.

1. Get running clothes from the laundromat [100%, all running clothes in hands of my laundress, running naked not an option]
2. Drink Gatorade all day [86%]
3. Eat something! [95%]
4. Rest [20%]
5. Go to sleep early [7%]
6. Bring Gu or Gel or Cliff Blocks to the run [14%]
7. Bring a water or Gatorade bottle (or 2) to the run, one to drink before, one during [pretty good about doing this, there is a 24 hour store that sells Gatorade that I have to walk by on my way out, 92%]
8. Put on watch and track the time (I uncovered my 5 year old watch, see post on my first marathon for the story, it still works) [I haven't worn it in years and I remember most things by force of habit, so this one is going to be tiny decimal which shall be rounded down to 0%]
9. Lay out clothes the night before so I am not scrambling in the morning [35%]
10. Bring video camera and blank tapes [87.5%]
11. Bring change of shirt & flip flops [60%]
12. Bring Vaseline [18%]
