Race number pinned on the T-shirt - check.
Name ironed on - check.
Pile of clothes for tomorrow - check.
Travel plans - check.
Garmin and heart rate monitor - check.
Pace plan - check.
Drinking water, eating carbs - check.
Timing chip attached to shoes - check.
Jaffa cakes and jelly babies - check.
All that remains is to get a good night's sleep.
Targets for tomorrow - if I can beat my New Forest time I'll be fairly happy, if I can beat 2 hours I'll be very happy, and if I can beat 9 minute mile pace (1:57:54) I'll be very happy indeed. Otherwise, just looking to enjoy the run. I just need to remember to go off slowly tomorrow and not make the New Forest mistake of peaking too soon.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is promising - cloudy and 13 degrees for the start, with the possibility of a rain shower. So hopefully comfortable running conditions.
My two lunchtime runs this week leave my total for the year at 813.81 miles. Soon to be 826.91, all being well !
