Apr 21

This lunchtime saw my last run before the big day! I ran from work up to Regent’s Park and home. It was only 2 miles, or which most I tried to keep on marathon pace – felt fine. I definitely had a spring in my step and felt like shouting to people lunching on the grass “I’m running the marathon on Sunday, don’t you know. Look how fit I am” ! Speedy shower at home along with a last scour of my room to check I had anything. I located my Garmin dongle, which I thought I had lost, phew. I also picked up my running cap, Sunday looks to be sunny and warm – boo. Never have I wanted the weather to be cool and overcast before!

I’m now sitting waiting for the end of the day when I can get to the Expo center for registration. Why they have to make us trek out to Custom house I don’t know. I love it, they advise you to rest as much as possible this week, not get too excited, stressed etc etc, then make you travel to a huge show, full of stalls, people and most probably queues… sigh.
