Getting nervous yet?
I will be running Leicester on 26th October and it's starting to feel very real now. How is your training going?
My first 20 mile run last Sunday wiped me out, I've slept like a baby the past three nights! It was tougher than expected and I confess has dented my confidence a little.

Nice work on your training, your 1st marathon is a great experience. I did my 1st in Edinburgh at the start of summer and a part from the shambolic organisation of the event I enjoyed it. The last few miles were pretty tough as Id only got up to 20 miles during the build up but determination and stubbornness got me over the line (and into a 13 mile tough mudder 3 weeks later).
Good luck with the event and I'll let you into a wee secret - Jelly Babies are the best thing in the universe from mile 15 onwards :-)0
