7 days - will it fly by or drag
Apr1820109:25 p.m.
Went for my final 8 miler today, never had a set pace in mind I just thought I'd go with it and see how I felt. Did 8.07 miles at an average of 9.01 m/m, if I'd have known that I'd have sprinted down the road to grt under 8 mins. Overall I felt good, ran at a steady pace and included the standard number of hills for good measure.
I've got my name on my top, got my lucky Lego man ready (I'll post pictures when I figure out how) I had the dream (more like a nightmare) that I got to the start and had forgot my number and timing chip and was having a tantrum in the street because I couldn't run. It woke me up at 5.00am and I could'nt get back to sleep with worry. I certainly won't forget them on 25th after that.
Need to get my pre race haircut, more of a head shave really - number 1 all over - to make me more aero dynamic, it may make all the difference on the run in. Can't believe that in a week it will all be over, seems like only months ago I found out I had got a place.
Hope everyones final preparations go well, planning 2 x 6 milers myself

simonedumergue 'haha - love the idea of a 'go faster' haircut. Maybe I should paint 'go faster' stripes down the sides of my body - I'm warming to the idea :-) I hope you've got somewhere 'decent' to store Lego Man on your way around the course!!' added 19th Apr 2010
