Well, it's getting closer... Nerves are really starting to kick in now. Training has been tapered and a few more runs before I have to complete this mammoth task! I can't believe that it is so close now. It doesn't seem that long ago that I started preparing for this (or sending begging emails / facebook messages out!).
It feels weird to scale back the miles when so close to the event. You almost feel that you should be keeping up the distances to better prepare yourself for the day but people who have been doing this have been doing it like this for years so I am sure that they are better placed to decide what is right than I am! I had a small run (3.25 miles) last night and whilst running my leg was a bit painful. I ran on through it but when I stopped I was limping a bit. This is so not the time to be developing niggles. Anyway, it felt ok this morning so I did the hill session in the park. It's a bit uncomfortable at the minute but not like it was last night. I'll rest it for the next couple of days and hopefully it won't interfere with my last long run on Sunday.
On the fundraising front, things are going great. My page has £1686 on it at the minute and I know I have a load more to come so I think that the total will be reached no problem at all. Thank you so much to all of you who have parted with your hard earned cash to sponsor me. I really do appreciate it and next time I see you, I'll buy you a pint!
Got the London Marathon Expo next week to pick up my runner number etc. Hoping to meet up with Carly there to compare notes on how nervous we are...!!
Right, better go and get some work done
