well 48 hours to go

well I'm about as ready as I'll ever be. I've done a full14k run last week and since i've been on my wind-down to let my body relax and build up my energy, only going to the gym and not running for more than about 20 mins at a time.

Although I did go for a short 5 mile run yesterday, and the strangst thing happened, I got the worst stitch I have ever had!! It came so sudfdently and stopped me from doing anything, I had to stop and wait for it to pass. Although I've discovered the reason for it. I weas running too fast!

I managed to cut my 5 mile time from 42 mins to 36 even with the break for my stitch included, so I it seems that I need to make sure I pace myself properly. I do see this as a good thing thugh, as if it happens to me on Sunday I'll know exactly what has caused it, and what to do.

I'm starting to get nervous forthe race day now, it's coming up so quickly and there's nothing I can do about it. But ot be honest I'll be so glad when it's over, as I'll be able to get on with my studies. Thgen come the end of may that's it - i'm free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well better go, off for my last run this morning, got two lectures at uni, and a birthday party to go to, but a nice quiet one at a restaurant. Getting an early night cuz I'm travelling to London tomorrow daytime to pick up my race number and book myself into my hotel.

Well - wish me luck!
