hi all, doing a gentle 4 tonight and 2 on sat both in race kit... just to get rid of a bit of nervous energy i think! Hardly feel like getting changed for a 2 miler but getting into race kit is soooo exciting. I work in westminster and keep seeing all the signs re the marathon and road closures... makes my stomach lurch around!
I was getting super nervous, but then realised I might not do london again - or at least not for a good few years (moving abroad next year) so I must enjoy all of it, especially the lead up!
new favourite song for running - Foo Fighters "No way back"
Going to the expo tomorrow... here we go guys!!!!!!!
Need for Speed, why not try a few more gels. I usually 'do' a gel every 5 miles with one at the start. Works for me although some might think its a bit of an overload. I find the smell of food makes my stomach turn once I get to around 15 miles...all those stinky burger bars.
I take a gel from half an hour in, then every half an hour to 45 mins so I'm looking to take 7 or 8 for the whole race! That's in addition to the pouches.
I also need to update you on my clothing. My Cancerbackup top has arrived and it's a kind of red. Not really a very nice red. Preferred the blue they had before. (sorry if anyone from cancerbackup is reading this!)

Looking forward to a taste of your delicious imm instants: i love them like a man loves a woman.....

you will be fine as long as you dont dress up in in yellow children with leukemia shirt or carry an Mr Men like that very attractive woman in the picture just above this one........
I am sorted then!
Naked it is??? ;o)
or maybe I shall be boring and revert to the children with leukaemia vest, orange tutu and lots of Mr Men!
Seen you around on various threads here and there.
Perhaps catch you at the mudchute!
