Treacle Oct 2008 2:18pm, 8 Oct 2008 2,020 posts	Treacle I'm still dithering about whether to carry a bottle with me - I normally do on my longer runs, and I do struggle to drink from cups... Decisions decisions. In other news, I've written my packing list. What might I have forgotten?
Oct 2008 2:32pm, 8 Oct 2008 1,237 posts	LOL @ Treacle... I wrote out my packing list at lunchtime too!!!! Only TEN days to go, but hey, no doubt the bag will be packed and unpacked dozens of times between now and then!!!

Treacle Oct 2008 2:40pm, 8 Oct 2008 2,021 posts	Treacle 10 days?!!!! Why did I think it was 11?!! EEEK! Safety pins are on the list, as is hairband Ruth. But clothes for afterwards - very good idea. I shall take my compression tights as well to wear in the car on the way home:-)

Treacle Oct 2008 2:58pm, 8 Oct 2008 2,022 posts	Treacle I know that I shouldn't need one G - but I do struggle to drink properly from cups, and get pretty thirsty. I may try it without - and leave one with hubby or fetchpoint that I can pick up later if I feel too uncomfortable. So not carrying weight for no reason, but comfort blanket just in case...
