How about pinning in on your thigh? That way you don't have to worry about it!
Good luck!)

Well done Lucy and good luck Rachel, looking forward to hearing about it.
Gina, my training schedule says to do 4 miles and 2 miles on the Tuesday and Thursday of the week of the race. You need to be tapering down so you're saving your energy for the day.
I'm doing 7 miles this morning, its been some time since I did that distance so trying not to worry about it.

Morning all, can't seem to see if I posted my run yesterday, sorry if I did!
Managed 2.5 but I'd call it an easyish run, tried to take it slow as I've got a strange pain in my right leg, at the back, lower than the calf but higher than the ankle. Had to do incline running to stretch it out. Anyway, I'm happy with 2.5, still on track, 2 to do next week before the next 3.5 which I'm already scared of!

Well, I survived the run and the 4 hour drive home afterwards!
I did the run in 2 hours 5 minutes, which I am really pleased with. The massive hill that I had read about was not the mountain I expected, but a long steady incline for 1.5 miles. I was expecting a huge hill, so it was actually a pleasant surprise! I had the most amazing time, and would do it again tomorrow if I could (and my legs would let me Just signed up for the Leeds half marathon in May to give me something else to work towards.
Gina - lots of luck for Sunday, it is such a great experience, and feels like a wonderful achievement when you finish.
