I'll be collecting my race pack in the next few days! Exciting!

Training has been going fairly well. I've been putting in the miles, at home and abroad while on work trips, with no major issues or injuries - touch wood.

Today I ran my longest training run before the big day in two weeks. Apart from accidentally spending a mile running on sand and up and over boulder groynes (worse than running in Venice!), it felt like a good run.

I'm slow, but steady, so even though I may finish last, I'm quietly confident that I will at least finish.

Wish me luck!
