Final preparations

Hi all again!

It's now Saturday evening, around 18.15 and I have just got off the phone from my Mum. Those of you who know my Mum know that she is amazing! She has supported me through some crazy times and challenges and is always there for me, even if it's just at the end of the phone.
She just fills me with encouragement and never doubts my ability to accomplish my dreams.

The road bike is tucked up in the van all ready to go and I have a very very long list of things that I need to prepare and lay out before tomorrow. I have this OCD thing before an event I need to know I have everything laid out and ready to pack or I wont sleep! I may not sleep well anyway as I am an absolute bundle of nerves! I've been stressed all afternoon, grumpy with the dogs, grumpy with myself!

Luckily I live alone!

I'm going to have a baked potato, chicken and broccoli, was going to have fish and chips but saving the pennies! Then I shall have a massive glass of red wine and go to bed with Miss Marple!

This challenge means so much to me. I reckon it's the first time I have actually been properly challenged, I've run all my life, so even my first ever marathon was something in my comfort zone, of course I never realised that at the time, but now I know it!

This time tomorrow it will be all over, and I shall sigh the biggest sigh of my life, and have a little nap!

I'm looking forward to getting back out onto the coastpath and running epic loads of miles and getting back on my mountain bike and riding just for fun!

You never know, I may even go for a little swim this week for pure pleasure!

You know I'm gonna blog it, so keep watching, and be warned, it may involve extreme details about vomit! haha ;)

See you soon

:)
