This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Not just your bog standard thrill machine but one of those that drops you from great heights and has you elated one minute, nervous the next and can make the contents of your stomach come up. For two whole days nerves gripped me to such an extent that a mere word could have me in tears. I was just coming out of this when I discovered that the met office were forecasting blazing sunshine and temperatures in their twenties for Sunday - more tears and an overdose of fear.
Fortunately this didn't last forever. By yesterday I was relaxing, enjoying the slow trickle of "good luck" messages coming in and gearing up for the big run. After a lovely carb based lunch in St James' Park we headed over to Expo in London's docklands to do the final registration. It was quite exciting to pick up my race number and timing chip for the day and walk away with my red virgin plastic bag! I am number 50820 and am starting from Greenwich Park in pen 9 - I'm right at the back but I don't really care!
If you're at home watching on the day Adidas has an app on Facebook where you can track my progress - just put in my race number tomorrow and it will up date with every 5 kms I run.
So with a wealth of luck behind me I'll be off to run the Virgin London Marathon for Relate tomorrow with an enormous grin on my face.
