10 days to go- its the final countdown!

Training is almost over. Only one more run of significant distance on Saturday on my schedule. I think i'll go to the forest and do my regular Saturday run with Stuart.
The 20 mile run at Oakley was tough and there were loads of hills. It's taken until now for me to feel any real energy when i'm running but i'm told thats normal after running for almost 3 hours ( 2 hours 52 mins ) in a race. Hopefully i'll be raring to go next week as you only get one chance at the marathon.
I hope there will be toilets on the east London runners coach to the marathon as i'm sure I will be a bundle of nerves on the day.
I'm planning on going to the excel next Thursday with Manjit to collect my number. I have just consumed half an easter egg and a caramel mini egg whilst doing this blog post. Hopefully I wont get  too fat before next week!
Check back after the marathon to check how it went. Wish me luck!!
