So, the big day is now looming immensely and ominously on the horizon. Plenty of people have wished me luck and told me how much fun the whole experience is, but that doesn't stop me from being a tad nervous! I've not done a run over 3 miles for a fortnight; hopefully this has been a wise decision. I've also been trying to eat a bit more than I normally do, and tonight I'll be having some lovely pasta for tea, which, along with a porridgey-bananary breakfast in the morning, should be enough to fuel me throughout the race tomorrow (plus a few energy gel packs). I also had some free pasta this lunchtime at the Great North Show, which is just one of the many accompanying events happening this weekend on Tyneside, along with the Junior & Mini Great North Runs and the Great North City Games. The city does seem to be buzzing with anticipation at the minute. It's something I've always been aware of every year, but I've never been involved in it before, so this time it feels a bit more special.
If you're watching the coverage on the BBC tomorrow, look out for me, in my white CF top and blue and pink shorts. I'll try not to avoid the cameras too much ;) My next post will cover how the race went (hopefully well!), and will probably be my last one. I think it's probably time for another cartoon....
