TICK TOCK TICK TOCK !!

Its Monday, and Gill and myself went out tonight in the dark, for an hour and a half. During the run we realised that we only had one more big training run to do on Saturday!! TICK TOCK count down begins!!!!!!!!!!! I think we are more excited than scared, we have put so much training in, more than ever before, so we had better enjoy it! Can't wait for the celebrations afterwards! I think I can see Gill and myself being very good at the celebrations! ha ha!!

Got a couple of hour runs to push out later in the week, but rest and ice tomorrow. My calf muscles are starting to get fed up with all this running! so stretching and icing is now a necessary part to my day in order to keep them well behaved!

Seems like you're pretty much there Kate! One more long run under your belt and it'll all be over, except for the anticipation of the big day. Don't go mad on your last big run, take it nice nad easy and finish feeling confident that you can do a 'bit' more if you need too. After that, like I said before, it's all in your mind. You've done all the physical hard work, you've just got to convince yourself on the day that you can do it...and you WILL! Take it easy next week, maybe a gentle 45 minute jog and perhaps a small speed session, then enjoy the rest until Sunday. After Sunday, go home, relax and fill in the application for next year's FLM!!
Keep up the good work.

goods like your training has gone well and that you are prepared for the race.

i always find it helps to think about how you are going to reward youself after race day - BIG SUNDAY ROAST!!!
