Are you doing a half a week on Sunday? I'm jealous - I can't wait to get that buzz of anticipation again in the week before a big one.
What are you aiming for?
Rich I am doing the Bristol Half on the 14th (week on sunday) there is a huge part of me that is very very nervous and anxious that I won't get around but part of me excited at the thought of getting to the finish line and seeing my little girl there waiting for me
I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

It certainly doesn't help trying to fit the runs in when the nights are drawing in, and it is colder......
I was meant to go to runchums at 8pm the other night, but she had something on telly at 8, so rather than cancel which she is prone to do, i said i'd come over at 7.... by the time i left hers at 8, it was almost dark.... we'd have been screwed if we were running at 8 o'clock!!! (we live in the country so it's B roads and no street lights for us!)
I love running in the rain, give me rain over a sunny day anytime!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -

Sorry Rich had to pick up DD from School...god that 2.5 hours went quick!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Okay off to google it now...0 -
Sally,
You basically know you'll get to the finish one way or another even if you do have walk some.
The only slight help I could suggest is that you will improve your chances if you do nothing after next Wednesday, except a thorough stretching session each day, and let the glycogen build up in your muscle cells.
What time are you expecting? Or is it a see how it goes run?Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
