I’m Steven and I will be running the Virgin London Marathon on 17th April 2011 in support of British Heart Foundation. It’s a scary thought but I’m determined to see it through and raise lots of money. This blog is a record of the lead up to the day. Details of my training etc and the highs and lows along the way. For friends to read but mainly for me to remind myself why I’m doing it..

Friday - 2 days to go...

My Running Vest!
Hey people (or person, or just me if no-one ever reads this...)

I cannot wait to get started on Sunday.  As it draws closer I thought I would be getting more and more petrified but the opposite seems to be happening - I am almost too excited to sleep!  This is better than Disneyland!!  I think I am feeling like this now as I have no more training to do so I feel like I'm just waiting around for it all to start....

I keep going over to the real buzz forums to have a look to see what people are suggesting to make the most of the experience on the day.  Music or no music, energy gels or jelly beans, plasters or vaseline...!  There is so much to take in I think I might just stop reading it all.  I'll get my little belt thing packed tonight with a few gels, nurofen, plasters etc and then leave it all alone tomorrow.  I'm planning a nice pasta meal tomorrow night (have to stock up on the carbs) and sit and watch "Run Fat Boy, Run" again.  I have watched it already on my friend Bunty's advice, but I think that I will appreciate it more now that I have done the training and am waiting for the run.

I'm not really able to concentrate much in work today.  Everyone I speak to is wishing me well and I can't really get it all out of my head.  I drear to think what I'm going to be like tomorrow night...

Been watching the weather forecast and it looks as if it is going to be warm and sunny on Sunday.  A bit worried about that but it will be me and 36999 other people so we're all in the same boat.

The lastest amount on my sponsorship page now stands at a whopping £2370!  I am over the moon with that.  Thanks again to all of you who have made this possible.  I won't forget it.

Right, I suppose I'd better go and try to do some work today.  Last post tomorrow before the race.  Wonder how I'll be feeling then....

Laters!
