3 days to go – excited!

Eldest daughter and I went up to the Marathon Expo yesterday to collect my race number and chip, very excited now. Had a lovely chat with Carl on the Wellchild stand who said that he can tell the runners who are first timers and excited as they always turn up on Wed or Thurs, the ones who are in the ‘been there, done it, bought the T-shirt’ turn up on Saturday as late as possible and are grumpy.

Jasper and I went out for a 30 min run this morning in the glorious sunshine, I’m having real withdrawal symptoms from running distance at the moment and feel like I’m cheating.

Other problem is that I’m starting to think about the Triathlon in July and figuring out when I’m going to get my swims and bike rides in – I have the same issue with bike rides as I do with running – mud, I need lots of mud, cycling on the road is not my idea of fun, there isn’t any mud – same old, same old, give me hills and mud anytime, ooooh wonder if I can do swimming in the mud too, probably be crocodiles though!

I’m staying over with a good friend in South London on Saturday evening and just had the embarrassing conversation about my being totally anal about what I eat on Saturday evening so I’m cooking (no surprise there then!) Sorry Pat, it’s just this once and I have to have a curry, can’t run without a curry, legs just don’t work.
