BIG MISTAKE!

Just made a very big mistake and clicked on a link sent to me by the marathon, it was like falling into a washing machine on a fast spin.  The first thing I read was . . . .

1 month, 24 days, 14 hours a few minutes and an odd couple of seconds to the start

 PANIC!!!!!.....

There were so many pages and I have so little time that I started reading quickly just picking out what seemed like the relevant bits, there was:

• Registration
• Exhibition
• Running Music
• Motivation
• Pasta
• Coaches
• Loud Speaker announcements
• kit bag
• running number
• Safety pins
• Race Running Shoes
• accommodation
• More Pasta
• Trains
• Buses
• Even More ***** Pasta
• What happens at the start
• Mile markers
• What happens at the finish
• Meeting friends
• Don't use your phone
• Smile at the camera's
• High mile weeks
• Tapering

AAaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................ I didn't sign up for all of this - 26 miles and a bit is enough, I don't need all the other stuff.  For now I need to concentrate on the 14 miles I intend to run tomorrow and clear my head of all the other stuff.  I will set aside one evening this week to concentrate on all the other bits.

Jan is coming over to run with me tomorrow, it must be really hard to do these long runs completely alone so she's coming here and Andrew will be support to both of us, hopefully there won't be too much space between us for him to cover and it would be very nice if the lovely wind doesn't join us again tomorrow.  I shall let you know how it goes.
