Thank you everyone's support over the last days - i haven't had a good running week but i went out Wednesday night a 8:40 (race time) and managed 6km.
I have managed to run/cycle most of the race route and know what to expect apart from the 2km-4.5km but sometimes knowing too much is a bad thing.
I picked up my kit last night ! I now love picking up my kit before a race as it adds to the excitement - last night there was such a buzz! Music, photographers and trainers. The even installed treadmills into the stand and had a huge screen with yesterday's running conditions set. The best part they made a wall with every runners name and number printed onto it, a young lady girl was there to help you find your name and then was on hand to take your picture (easily pleased but i thought the sentiment was lovely!) I must say this is the most organised, exciting pre -race prep i have experienced. So if picking up your kit was exciting, i am sure the pre-race atmosphere will be electric and of course the standard Chile after race party will be amazing!!
P.S I don't work for Nike or get paid to promote them but they do know what runners like and need

I am pleased the picture of the race t-shirt looked pants but yesterday i was really pleased - i have fined tuned my playlist tomorrow to get me up that hill. Haven't done so much addition since school! I just want to get going now!! Tomorrow i am going to wonder to the finish line (in is literally down the road from me) just to have a nosy!
i was pleased when i picked up my kit yesterday- the oh was like i want that t-shirt - for a moment he was like i should have entered just the t-shirt. Tomorrow i must admit with everyone will look fab and the photos will look amazing. Plus with everyone wearing the t-shirt we won't be hard to spot in the dark. I am considering nipping to mall to find some neon yellow nail varnish - or is that a step too far ?
i do really love the fact everyone wears the t-shirt on the race day.
I went to the mall and found a yellow that is very close to the t-shirt called sun kissed - well if that is not a sign nothing is.
Actually a brand (china glaze) i have never used but now i wonder why i haven't - its very good - just done a test drys super fast and has a lovely matt finish -
i am set for saturday now i am sure the nail polish will make me run faster too.
I will be taking photos and i will try to post them here before i leave for Uruguay on sunday. I hope that i will see some photos of the santa dash too!!
Will do some but you might be in Uruguay by then. The race is 2pm Sunday but will post anyway. Might look a bit chilly at the start and more beetroot style at the end!!
