London Marathon - No problem!.........I'll just blog it. by RichEvans

……………….but unfortunately not enough to have a valid excuse not too run. Just a bit of a reoccurrence of the leg injury I had about a month ago. Shame.

Well with 3 days to go its safe to say, the decision to run the marathon was a very, very poor judgement. Why in the name that is all that’s Holy have I decided to put myself through this nightmare! Why I ask you? WHY? God only knows.

But there is no turning back. I’m in it to win it. Well, I’m in it to try and not completely humiliate myself.

The trouble is I have absolutely no idea how I will perform on the day. I know I am stupidly under trained, but after a 16 mile run I did about a week ago I genuinely felt I could have carried on if I had needed too – and had no choice. If I feel the same after 16 miles on Sunday I won’t be unhappy.

However, I must admit I can’t wait till its over and I can hopefully look back with fond memories, at a catastrophe avoided. I’m pretty sure running a marathon will be like taking an exam, once you get the result you completely forget about all the revision. But the way I feel at the moment I would probably spell my name wrong.
