First off - sad to report that Neil has unfortunately has had to pull out of the event with a torn muscle, but the rest or us are ready - actually scrap that! The rest of us are going to be there - none of us feel ready no matter how much training we have done. All of us are feeling very nervous about what is to come, but all that I read anywhere is what an amazing even this is - so although nervous and not feeling ready, it is tinged with excitement! Honestly!
Loads of good luck messages which have been great, so thank you all, and also thank you so much for all of the money that has been raised. So far we are up to over £5,100 which is absolutely incredible. We've been told of atleast another £200 in promises, so it would be amazing if by the end of the weekend we could get to £5,500, and if not, it would be just as amazing if we could get to it by the end of the Royal Parks Half Marathon, which now is only 22 days away ARGH!!!!
For those that are interested - it seems like its going to be live on the BBC for most of the day, so look out for us if you can. Coverage finishes at 1.30 - just about the time Im looking to be crossing the line - so - watch out for the pained ginger crawling over the finish!!
So - off to Newcastle we go in a few hours. Ive just downloaded another 106 running songs. That gives me 207 - 6 hours or so of music - I must be able to finish by the time they run out!!
I was going to announce everyones run numbers so you could look out for us, however, it would appear that atleast one person (Mr Rooney) is very much keeping his number under wraps!! So - if you see a very random blog in the early hours of the morning with just a number on it - you know Ive discovered it ahead of the race. In the mean time - here is two to look out for.
Thanks again for all your support and generosity
