Final Countdown
There are just 5 days now till Marathon Day.
I still feel some hesitation about the race, but I think that the desire to do it and have it done is definitely stronger than any hesitation.
 My t-shirt is now printed so hopefully all my supporters will be able to pick me out of the vast crowd of runners at least once it starts to thin out a bit.
There are around 36,000 people running and there are three different starts. Two of the starts (blue and green) merge after half a mile or so and then my start (red start) which is mostly for charity places merges in after about 3 miles.
The logistics of this race are huge and the numbers of spectators that come to watch is equally impressive. I know many people love the vibe and if I remember correctly there are over 70 official music bands along the route. Pubs are dotted all along the route with special events on, many of them for charity.
Looking at the long term weather forecast, Sunday is looking to be sunny and mild with a low of 7C and a high of 17C. There is no forecast yet for the wind which may prove to be an influencing factor, but strange as it may seem, I quite like running into the wind, perhaps because of the cooling effect.
 My running number is:
33295
