Packing for the Capital 10K

So the Capital 10K (you can read about my race and training) is held in Austin, Texas which meant that I had to pack and couldn't decide what I wanted for the race at the last minute. I am a pretty good packer most of the time but I wanted to make sure that I got to the race with all of the things that I need.


In the picture:
Sports Bra (Moving Comfort, Rebound Raced): I have searched long and hard for one that keeps the girls in place and doesn't feel strange. This is it, my girls feel secure and stay in place.
Socks: These are amazing, super expensive $15 but feel so good.
Tank and pants: These are both pretty seamless and super lightweight. These pants feel like I am not wearing any pants at all.
New Balance Shoes: I love these shoes I have several pairs of them now, these are so comfy and are good for my feet.
Hot pink FlipBelt: This is a life saver, I got this for Christmas from my folks and I love it. I thought it might be like a fanny pack but most of the time I don't even feel it. My iPhone6 fits in there, just barely, and it has a clip for my keys.
Accesorries: Shades and some headphones
Products: EOS lipbalm, I always want chapstick during the run but this stays on for most of the race. BodyGlide, this prevents chaffing, you rub it on kinda like deodorant. Sunscreen (not shown), I did use this but it was shady so I didn't really need it but I didn't want to burn.

Lily wanted to come too and was ticked that I was packing
The Cap10K gave out a running shirt as their race shirt. I am not a huge fan of running in T-shirts anymore, I get way too hot, so I wasn't sure what to do with the top. At the race I noticed that one girl had cut hers into a cute running tank, so I did the same.

This awesome new running top
All in all it was a great 10K, I am looking forward to my next one. Also, cutting this shirt up was kinda difficult since it is not made of cotton but more like a wicking fabric. I can't wait to run in this one.
