Rest day. Liz has set off for an overnighter in London and should return tomorrow with both our train tickets and my number and kitbag. I’m sorry not to be going round the Exhibition, but would have had to drag the kids round on Saturday afternoon and they’d have been bored – maybe another year.
Decide to make lists and sort out the stuff I’ll need for the weekend. New(ish) running shoes already look grey so scrub them up. Not exactly good as new, but should be comfortable as I’ve done about a hundred miles in them. Chat on phone with UK based brother – he tells me the forecast is for a warm one – sunny intervals and 22°C for Sunday. Bugger – I’ll have to go with the cap and sunscreen then, no doubt including the sweaty sunscreen in the eyes routine. Do I need the micro towel for drying off? Aim to run through the en route showers and use running vest as towel would seem to be the better option.
Believe it was a hot one last year and the times looked ok so hopefully warm weather won’t adversely affect my performance. We ran Sheffield half last year and I do seem to recall running extra distance to try and get as much shade as possible. It’s probably a balancing act between shade, quickest line and not tripping over other runners by doing bizarre changes of direction.
I’m packed and ready to go with four days to go. I’ve never been this organised.
