Well, just back from the Expo and have my running number for my shirt
Very excited now. I met up with Carly got our numbers and timing tags and we had a walk around looking at the stalls. Got a few t-shirts for supporters but I don't know if any of my friends will wear them!! It feels totally real now I've been there and talked to other people who are just as apprehensive as I am. We've all just got to bite the bullet and enjoy the day.
I am very lucky that I live so close to the start. Some people I was talking to have to get trains into London and then make their way to Greenwich etc. I can walk there in 10 minutes. There is a risk that, when I get to my house, I'll run inside and hide under the bed!! Not really....
I'm not so nervous now - I just can't wait for the day. There was a real buzz at the Expo and everyone we spoke to was wishing us luck for the day. I reckon there will be a real camaraderie on the day and that will help me through.
I'm having a training session with Rob tomorrow but that will probably be more of a coaching/stretching / pep talk session. I will do a small run tomorrow night and then that's it. Nothing more until Sunday. My friend Ray is coming down from Scotland tomorrow for the weekend so he can keep me calm.
My brother phoned earlier to let me know that he has taken my sponsor form to work and has got a load more sponsors for me so I reckon it will probably get to about £2300. You are all amazing!!
Until tomorrow...
