London Marathon? Am I insane? I need help...... by nickeames

With only a week before the marathon I really wanted to take the week easy. It has been far from it!. I havent been sleeping at all well. My hey fever has really come on over the last couple of weeks and strangly I have really been suffering at night! On Monday I did a steady 4 mile run and again really enjoyed it. But since Monday morning I have been away with work. We have had a big meeting today and are being taken out for a very posh dinner and quite a bit of a social (drinking session!) tonight. We are staying in a very nice hotel and it is so difficult to be good. I arrived here yesterday and (although I planned not to) ended up having a few beers at the bar last night. This morning however I was proud of myself for only having porrridge and a slice of toast (although pissed off watching everyone tuck into their bacon, sausage and egg. However I am certain my 'good eating behaviour' will not continue tonight, as I plan on eating a big fat steak and having a few drinks - otherwise I will be very boring. I will not go over the top though and will be back to the porridge tomorrow morning!!! Off to register straight from the hotel tomorrow. Looking forward to that. Will probably do one (maybe two) little runs before the big day.
