It's the final countdown....
Countdown as we speak:
DAYS HOURS MINS SECS
1 1 30 59

Well, its the day before the run, and at about this time tomorrow myself, Shiz and Piggy and several thousand others will be lining up to do a 13.1 mile run!!
Seems like it has come around so quickly and I have been wondering if I will be prepared, only time will tell I suppose!
We are traveling up to Newcastle today and staying at the Uni halls of residence overnight. Very good of them to open up for us, means we are very close to the start in the morning which will save the hassle of traveling in.
A final body check and I think I am in final working order (some may disagree!). A final trim of the beard (don't want to carry the extra weight :) and it will make me hot!) and a trim of the toe nails (take note Russ!)so that there are no uncomfortable complications on the way round.
Weather for tomorrow, courtesy of the Beeb, is going to be sunny but not too warm hopefully. A bit of a breeze will be nice too.
In the true spirit of Piggy, I will say that we are going to visit an elderly relative in South Shields (where the run ends) today which will be nice. This evening I think the plan is to find an Italian and pile on the pasta. The "free" all you can eat GNR Pasta Banquet is actually £6 which is slightly upsetting.
Well, next messagee will be after the run, if i'm not in A&E.
Wish me luck!
