Last Hit Out

Well the wait is almost over and the pre-race training certainly is. I went out for with Adam for a 7km run around Barangaroo and the Hickson Road wharves and everything felt good - even the pace which average 4.27's and down to 4.10's for the last couple of kms. Will be very happy if I can do that on Sunday. Run stats are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/119441652 and also had last physio session so foot re-strapped and feeling better although will need some more stretching over the next couple of days. Everything else feeling good at this stage. Carbo loading has started in earnest and feeling pretty heavy and I still have two days to go- enjoying the bag of sweets per day but just feels like I am constantly eating. Off to Melbourne in the morning so this will be the last blog before the run. Really chuffed with sponsorship - less than $100 from the target. Nerves still there, bit scared about how the body might react and really don't want to let all the sponsors down - am sure the excitement will kick in at some point and I'll be able to enjoy the run. Thanks for all the support and encouragement over the last couple of months - especially from the wife and kids.
