Well, my marathon registration letter arrived yesterday with my race number on it (52359) - plus a copy of the 'Marathon News' with all kind of useful 'tips' and information about race day - things like the availability of toilets (v. important), whether the water will be in bottles or cups (bottles), where to go, what to do, what to expect, etc. I loved it - I like to know all that kind of thing, stops me worrying!
Anyway, I will be running from the red start (depends on your number) with 20,000 other people! All getting a bit close and a bit real now. Am very much excited - but also really quite nervous. :)
And today I did my intervals - my last lot of 1600's - 3 x 1600m with 400m RI - I hate 1600's (they seem to go on forever) so I am glad to see the back of them. Happy to have done the session though - wasn't sure how keen my legs would be after the big run on Sunday - and they were tired, but managed to keep going admirably.
Current worst complaints - my stomach/insides are still upset with me after Sunday (I couldn't eat a thing all of Sunday night - very unusual), I have a blister on my left foot which is a bit sore and my shoulder is still incredibly painful.
Luckily - my legs are fine though.
Which is nice.
