The clock is ticking and we are now looking at hours rather than days!  The past few weeks have really passed by quickly and on Sunday will be something that I have been preparing for for several months and looking forward for years!

I am still not nervous although it is increasingly taking most of my thoughts.  I have tried to make lists and make sure I am organised and don’t forget anything daft-like my trainers or entry letter!

Lots of people say they feel terrible during taper, or conversely wonderful.  I don’t feel either-just normal!  It does feel like ages since I did a really long run, although the past two Sundays I have done 8 and 12 miles.  I think because I am not putting any pressure on myself-I just want to finish-that has helped with the nerves.

So today I have really thought about my hydration and have been drinking water and squash regularly.  Although I have not been sticking to healthy eating plan I have tried not to go too mad as I know it can make me feel yukky.

Expo tomorrow and I think the excitement and nerves will build…

All the best,

Woody
