Felling a little bit nervous

Mar1420086:16 a.m.

Woke up in a panic attack today !!  arghhhhh  running 50km tomorrow ! Put all my run clothes, painkillers, stomach tablets, nausea tablets, cramp stop...  Vooma's out last night ready, vaseline, sun block, peak, sunglasses socks.....   oops  then today the nerves hit... This will be the 6th time I've run this race, not including the one I bailed last year... (bailed due to too much pain on shin that turned out to be a stress fracture)....    Maybe thats why the nerves have hit....

I couldn't get a run in last night either, got stuck at BMW car wasn't ready they found the fault something on the computer they repalced it but they still had to reconfigure everything and didn't have enough time. They gave me a loan car so by the time I picked it up and got on the road it was already late, I was in peak traffic and then a huge storm hit... so I decided to stay home, I was so frustrated I didn't get to the gym either.....  my husband left all the washing on the line which got drenched so I had rinse it all thru and started tumble drying clothes. 

The weather is overcast today, more rain forecasted, it was cold this morning only 15 degrees, one of my colleagues was complaining he was cold, I told him to go to the UK and tell them 15 degrees is cold they'll laugh at you!!

Thanks for your support Annie and Glen "Hou Bene Hou" (hold legs hold)

Be good xxx
