Last night about 14 of the party went to Tony's pasta bar its was interesting to meet new people and the reasons for them undertaking the forthcoming torture. I was also pleased in a way to hear that I wasn't the only one attempting to run with an injury, quite a lot of the group have the same aspirations on time around 4.5 hours so a lot of us could all be running together. Well as long as my leg holds up.
Then theirs the die hard runners, one of the guys ran in fall BA gear last year and posted a time of 4.5 hours an amazing achievement, it really puts it into perspective as to where we are with our training.
One thing is for sure these guys can drink, beer, wine, more beer and more wine, I guess the champagne will be popped after the race, however at 4am uk time it was time for the lightweight to call it a day, not hot toddy nightcaps for me as the hotel is very basic, slightly worrying that the door on my room still shows the scars of being kicked in previously.
I managed to get around 6 hours sleep last night, and finally stirred myself into action just after 7 so that I can continue my ritual routine morning and night of stretching out my hamstring it seems to be getting easier until I run on it. Today I have to register at the expo and then try and relax, I have not done the training run that was available this morning as I don't want to push my leg to much.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is about 45degrees with bright sunshine so cold but bright.
I have decided to run in my leggings as it will keep my hamstring supported and protect me from the cold.
I feel very nervous at this moment in time I have never been very good at waiting really just want to get into it.
