Well the time is finally here.

Tomorrow morning I will be getting up at 6am and getting a bus to Central London ready to start my Half Marathon at 9am.

I will be having my pasta for tea tonight and probably an interrupted sleep. It feels like the day before Christmas when I was I kid, so excited. There will be 20,000 of us covering the 13.1 miles. (21.1km).

I am aiming to finish between 3 hours and 3hours 40. My training has been off. Three weeks flu in Jan and nearly 3 weeks looking after my Dad has disrupted my training plan a bit but I have got a 18.2km in so I know I can do the distance. I just need the weather to be kind now.

Happy weekend walking to you all.

Rfc x,

Thank you Jan. I love that sentiment, I am taking the shield of Determination and Sword of true grit with me as I just love the picture they conjure up in my head. I will leave the house feeling like Bodecia tomorrow 😀.

Fantastic - hope it went well!! We are just home having been along to support my son who ran in the same race. What a fabulous day we had chasing around the course to cheer him on. And so relieved that the weather warmed up a bit and the rain mainly held off. Hope you’re feeling ok - I’m weary and I only walked about 5 miles 😩
