Ok, so only 3 days until the big run. Starting to get a bit jumpy. I saw some running on tv today and felt that familiar nervous pit in my stomach. Thing is, I think I'm less nervous right now than I was going into my first half marathon. Maybe that's partly because I've been trying to get organised and have been fairly busy. Enough other things going on to keep the mind off the run. I've also felt a bit achy over the last couple of days. Like a cold is coming but it's not arrived yet. I feel better now than I have in the last two days so I think I should actually be good by either tomorrow or Saturday. Just in time. It's meant less running this week than I would have liked but hey, it's tapering time this week so it's not going to hurt too much.
Fundraising is going well. Some big donations have come in and hopefully more to come. Any donation is awesome as far as I'm concerned and I've already raised more than I thought I would so I'm really pleased. I reckon it's going to be great motivation. Something to use to get through those final kilometres. The main worry for me at the moment is the heat. It's predicted to be 26 degrees on Sunday. This could scuttle my plans to get in under 4 hrs. I guess I'll set out with the aim to run it at that speed and then if I'm struggling I'm can slow it down a little. I'll play it by ear I guess.
Week 16 distance covered: 38 km
