Not feeling great today. Hope it's just bad sleep (been a hell of a week - even had to work this morning - with jet lag thrown in) and not a sinus infection. At least i can have people to meet if it is, and i need to pull out, eh? How's that for a wibble?
friend just phoned to say she can't make it to support me tomorrow. Gutted. I've a couple of other mates coming too but she was the one I was most looking forward to seeing, cos we used to plod together.
I am not sure if i am scared, glad, worried, excited or what. I guess its a mix of all the above. Had a real crap nights sleep last night, cant think why.
Black Athens 2004 baseball cap (if I can find it!), Newcastle United shirt (I could have been in cardiff!), red and blue hawaiian pattern running shorts. No 8489.
Good luck all. I'm off to the restaurant over the road for a big bowl of soup noodles (hydration and carb loading in 1!) and a (1!) glass of wine - just enough to make me sleepy.
Ok, I'll make a list of last minute kit changes a bit later.
I will wear my ridiculous blue hat with Stickless in masking tape letters on the brim. Otherwise, probably I will be wearing either a grey fleece or else a green rain jacket.
No, not quite 5:20, 5:30. Not a lot of difference I suppose. Happily I'm mostly a morning person anyway, and a dab hand at sleeping on trains.

I must proof read my posts.
drinking delayed until sunday pm.
Stickless that is a very early time to be in the supermarche.
My calf is still sore and bruised from the sport fizz on wed. Any tips - shall I put ibuprophen gel on it and ice?
Stickless, thnks very much for that early morning supermarket trip. You're a star!
Go team 5 : LONDON, HERE WE COME!
SB, gently does it
See you tomorrow Big Ange
Sainsbury's first thing sat am is the only time to be there.
One gets quite chummy with the staff there after years of being a 7am Sat regular.
Just done my 6 miles. Shower, lunch, and then artwork I suppose.
Cocodamol bought and put in the bag to go.
Out laws have arrived to look after kids, so mayhem as ensued.

suggest you take it really easy for the rest of the day and have an early night, see how you feel in the morning?
pity you had such a hard week as well. Not the ideal build-up (

I blame the wibbles.
I have met you once before Stickless, though I can't recall where (a social? or a race?) so I'll recognise you anyway )
Just got surprise phone call from another Mind runner, with whom I've been exchanging emails. She is also in pen 9 so hopefully we'll get to meet.
Might, or might not be checking this before I am out the door, so it might be worth an ask if you have fogotten something.
More likely, I will be forgetting things.
