Well here we are less than seven days to go. I have some thoughts in my run up to the' big day' so to speak:
1. Isnt tapering fabby? Only eight miles at the weekend. It was fab and I felt great in my new gear. That last part was nothing to do with running but I now never miss the opportunity to shop when it once it was only fun for anything that didnt involve clothing.
2. My new running shoes do not mash my big toes to a pulp l so my poor feet were also thankful.
3. I love the fact we are finally getting some sunshine - again not really about running but hey the sun has to cheer everyone up! However, reclining on my lounger drinking Pimms made me realise on race day too much sun will make me a sweaty salt mess. Pimms, not! Reclining ? with two children under five - errrrrmmmmm no to that one as well I'm afraid.
4. My race number arrived with lots of talk of going to the correct pend. Made me think of my friends the sheep who will probably be missing me singing at them over the last few days. 27,000 sheep in the correct colour coded pend on Sunday. Well I thought of the sheep after I thought OH SH!T.
5. I got my first email wishing me luck today. That made me think OH SH!T again.
6. I need to make a list of the things I need to pack in my bag for the day - lists are good.
7. I still havent found out if I can wear my music on Sunday. Will add this to number 6 above. In fact I will write a list of all the lists I need to compile.
8. Number 3 has made me realise to completely enter into the spirit of this I may have to pass on my usual fermented grape juice from now until race day!!!!!!!!!!
9. Will think about number 8 some more before committing.....
