Thank you for the well wishes good folk of RC forum-land. I tell you one thing - announcing your intention to run a race to forumites and family certainly - if not motivating - gives you incentive to get the thing done.
No injuries or illness dog the MLCM body at present and there are no funerals to go to so it's all green lights for Sunday's race. My only real concern is keeping ahead of the sag wagon - being a club event it's a reasonably tight time frame to keep within, and I'll no doubt be at the very back in what will be a small field of 300 or so good runners.
A friend of mine called by yesterday and was aghast when I mentioned I was running the half marathon and urged me to go to church instead! I pointed out that if I ran a good race there was no reason why I couldn't do both but I think she thought the only way I'd be getting to church after the race would be in a pine box. My friend - clearly - is no runner.
But I am. (Although there may be about 300 club runners who have something to say about that on Sunday...)
OK, I'll see you after the race. Cheers everyone.
