Day 361 - London Marathon

Type - race

Distance - 26.2 miles

Coming soon.

Day 358 - 359 - Registration

Registering at the London Marathon Expo at the ExCEL Centre. Finished work at 6pm and headed east with Jarlath to pick up my registration details and have a look round the running exhibitions. Pretty big set up, very efficient and registered in no time. Had a look round the stands, saw lots of things that I could easily spend a lot of money on, a lot of events that I would love to go and do and left happy that I didn't have to do all this tomorrow!

Day 360 - ultimate rest

Doing very little today except making sure everything is in place for the big day! Pinned the running number onto my vest, got all my running clothes out ready and tested, fastened the chip to my shoe laces, drank a lot of water and ate a lot of pasta.

Ready for tomorrow.

Bring it on!

Last training run before the London Marathon. This is it - a year's training culminates in this pretty average, pretty steady run. Nice!
