So am I ready?

Well I've got my bits and bogs packed away in my kitbag. I've got my jelly babies, my lucozade orange and my music.. I'm am still undecided as to whether to wear a t-shirt inside my ActionAid top. Although the weather will be overcast, if my side starts to trouble me I may have to stop a good few times and will I get cold...decisions decisions. I'm actually thinking of not only wearing a carrier bag at the start to stay warm, but i'm actually thinking about carrying one in my pocket in case the weather takes a change for the worse. My mom actually said i should think about also bringing a shower cap...not a bad idea really but i think i will pass :-)

So how would i like to do?

A month ago I thought (much to my suprise) that I was on form to duck in under 5 hours. But having had swollen glands for the past 3 weeks (i know so not good, going to doc again on tuesday) and my pulled stomach muscle is still niggly even when resting - I am now thinking that 5 hours 30 might be more relistic...and maybe 6...but honestly I have no idea. It will all depend on what happens out there tomorrow-I will be pushing my body well beyond anywhere it has ever gone before and not feeling 100% will not help. Secretly I am still hoping for around 5 hours but relisticly and honestly I will be happy to finish and hopefully as painlessly and effortlesly as possible (if thats possible). I'm not going to be stupid about it though, if my side hurts i will stop and walk for awhile and repeat that.

As they say 'whatever will be will be'.

one last quote:

'Running is real and relatively simple...but it isnt easy.'

Fingers crossed for me tomorrow. I'm off to bed soon...have a 7ish start and running anytime from 9.45am. hard to believe this time tomorrow it will all be over.
