Today should be the day of my long run, but the only thing running is my nose. I'm sure the gremlins snuck into my room last night and filled my sinuses with cotton wool, but despite all that I'm blowing my nose every 23 seconds and beginning to look like Rudolph. Even the dog has had enough of my coughing and sneezing and has chosen to sit in the hall.
I'm trying hard to keep positive, but I'm really frustrated that I could miss out this week on training, as there seems to be so little time left before the big day (six weeks on Sunday!). I'm hoping I'll feel a lot better by Saturday and get a good few miles done, even if it's not the 14-16 that I was hoping for.
Looking on the bright side, my best friend is holding a candle party next week and donating her hostess discount to my fundraising, so that'll be an excellent excuse for me to buy lots of lovely candles...well - it's all in a good cause, isn't it? (Hubby - if you're reading this, I'm only joking. Please don't hide my credit card.)
I've also had an email from Asthma UK to say that our final instructions will be posted out the week after next, along with the iron-on letters for my running vest. I've requested 'JAS' for the back and front, and know that the crowd cheering me on will make a huge difference, especially as I reach the point of exhaustion (probably at about the half way mark!). Thinking about it, maybe I should change my request to 'Help! Feed me Chocolate'...it might be more practical!
