I travel a LOT, and with years of practice can fit a weeks-worth of clothing and gear into a backpack (unless I had to go to the North Pole... I might need a full suitcase for a trip like that).Beth (i run like a girl)http://i-run-like-a-girl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-76531034532980622402011-12-02T20:04:54.516-07:002011-12-02T20:04:54.516-07:00Travel safe and have a great time in Vegas!!!Travel safe and have a great time in Vegas!!!Just Run With Ithttp://e410.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-80572234345276552202011-12-02T18:22:08.271-07:002011-12-02T18:22:08.271-07:00I've done quite a few trips away for runs and ...I've done quite a few trips away for runs and I've found the more times I do it the easier it gets.

You look well prepared. loved the disposable leopard print blankie ya got there:) I took 1 small suitcase that would fit in an overhead if needed w/ race gear on one side and other clothes (comfy yoga pants, granny panties, wooly socks) on the other. I think i forget more when I'm home going out for a run;) Traveling is stressful. Next time I'll take my 2 pillows, earplugs (the ac at the hotel sounded like a jet engine!!) and maybe some tylenol PM to knock me out. ugh. didn't sleep 1 wink.Shortney Tobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267256484798099222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-56281474758912374262011-12-02T11:48:04.362-07:002011-12-02T11:48:04.362-07:00I traveled about 4 hours by car for my 1st and onl...I traveled about 4 hours by car for my 1st and only 1/2 RnR St Louis in october. <br />I would live to do one in Madrid or Portugal spring next year but im sure that's expensive and im sure I can't afford it.<br />Love your outfit.<br />Good luckjennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517472910021229637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-46678084589261205702011-12-02T11:30:54.516-07:002011-12-02T11:30:54.516-07:00I love to travel to marathons, they have a bit mor...I love to travel to marathons, they have a bit more meaning to me I think, so I've become the world's best racer packer.

My vacations are few and far between, so when I go somewhere I go for a long time and bring lots of stuff.<br /><br />I'm new to the racing thing (5 halfs so far), but I've had to travel to 3 of them.

Any suggestions? <br /><br />I used to travel light. Then I got married...to a notsolight traveller. And top it off with 4 kids and you're looking at many, many bags for just one night. {SIGH}.

Luckily, I fly so much on one airline that I get 3 checked bags for free, up to 70 lbs, under their rules for "elite members". I plan races around where I'll be at the time, which is fun - I've run 3 of my 4 half-marathons this year in cities away from home. This means that I do cart a ton of running gear everywhere too, but I don't mind!
