This time next week it'll all be over...

I've got my last long run under my belt and I've just booked a sports massage for Wednesday to unknot all the resulting kinks in my calf muscles. All in all, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about Sunday - I might not run it all, but I'm fairly confident I can get round in one piece. For some reason I managed to get placed in Zone B (honest - not my own choice!) but I think I will drop back to the more realistic Zone F and run with Simon and Chris. I think its important to enjoy the race (as much as possible, anyway), rather than pushing it too hard and hating every second of it.

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

Just think - this time next week we will have finished a half marathon!
