Only 3 clear days (as we lawyers like to phrase it) until race day. AND although I have not reached the target weight of 9st (which would give me a beautifully healthy BMI any GP would commend me on) I did do a little skip this morning when the scales was able to count my weight to the nearest half pound because I have made it into single digits (admittedly only by 1/2 lb to 9st13.5lb). Well, I would have skipped if I had more than 2 hours sleep last night.

My race number and information has arrived in the post and H is now enlisted to running me ‘sports bath’ and giving me ‘sports massage’ and I have been studying the route to look for psychological waypoints en route that I can use to spur myself on when I get to the point of near collapse.

ALL I NEED TO DO NOW IS RAISE A LITTLE MORE MONEY. PLEASE GO TO MY JUSTGIVING PAGE IF YOU CAN SPARE A FEW POUNDS FOR WOMEN’S AID.
