The night before the big day...

Its saturday evening I'm sitting typing this as Dr. Who is on TV in the background. Its 7.41pm. Am I ready for my first ever Marathon tomorrow???? hmmm interesting question.

Today I had a very chilled day-the idea being not to exert to much energy. I had an acpunture session and nice massage in the morning. I took a trip down to Argos and baught a stop watch...(i know nothing like leaving it til the last minute). Its something that I probably should have baught months ago but yeh...so tomorrow be it good or bad I'll be able to track my mile times along with my overall time.

I was and i guess still am thinking about my route to the start tomorrow-i think train, bus, tube, northern line and train from London bridge to Greenwich might be the best way to go-I'm going to give myself an hour for that and over an hour before the start of the race - hopefully that will give me enough time to get through the mass tiolet queues before the start of the race.

Like I mentioned yesterday I am starting in the Red Zone-but this is also numbered from 1-9 based on your predicted finish time-when i signed up for the marathon 5 months ago I could not run for 5 minutes without stopping-so i figured a predicted finishing time of 5 hours 30 minutes was reasonable....but this has left me in zone 9...which i think is possibly right at the back...

5 months later however I somewhat wish i was starting around the 5 hour mark.....not only so there will be people behind me :-) but so that If things are going ok for me that I do not have to use up to much energy passing out all those dressed in costume...
