As tempted as I am to say, ‘we’ll be millionaires’ the truth is actually – we’ll be marathon runners! Or that’s the plan at least. Yes, this time next week it will all be over – the cumulation of 7 months worth of training, over 400 miles of running and however many buckets of sweat (hope you’re not eating dinner). And if I don’t want to, I never have to run again!
It’s truly a terrifying thought, particularly as I haven’t done a long run for a couple of weeks – it’s what the schedule says, to make sure I’m nice and fresh for next week but still. I forgot to mention in an earlier post that I ran a small part of the course last Sunday. I did the killer hill, and believe me, it is a killer. One steep mofo. But at least it’s at the beginning so it’s over with early on. The weather has really perked up so it might be a nice day, which is really good in some ways but obviously will make it tougher in other ways. I also have my running number lucky number 12727! So look out for it if you’re heading down next week.
Just a shortish run, 45 minutes, today. To Bait’s Bite lock and back – I remember a time that I couldn’t even contemplate running solidly there so I’ve come along way and only time will tell how I’ll do next week. Basically from Thursday I’ll be eating carbs morning, noon and night.
Thanks again to everyone who has sponsored me – I really appreciate it and have over £1000 pledged now! If you haven’t sponsored me yet and would like to please click here.
So here we go into the final stretch – keep your fingers crossed that I keep fit and healthy this week…6 days to go! AHHHHHH
