In just over 24 hours I will start my 12 hour run.
I've got pretty much everyhting arranged. My roster is set up with only three hours of gaps from 10-midnight and from 1-2am. I've assembled Weetbix, biscuits, lollies, chocolate peanuts, crackers, and drinks totalling over 15,000 calories which is a lot more than I will need, but it's good to have plenty of everything. My parents just arrived in Canberra and will be on hand for the start and the finish.
I've been getting plenty of rest and I've started loading up on carbs and drinking plenty of water. Tonight I'll try to get to bed early and I will spend plenty of tomorrow resting up for the start at 7pm.
I've got some things to pick up. I can't seem to find my running undershorts so a new pair of them is due, and I will need strapping tape for my ankles. I've also got to decide what I will wear. I'll have some beyondblue wristbands to wear but they didn't have t-shirts so I will probably find something blue to wear. I'll also have spare socks and runing clothes and something to wear after the race. I hope it doesn't rain because I haven't got an umbrella big enough to cover all the gear.
I've wanted to do some heavy workouts this week but I have had to restrain myself. I'm really keen to get at it and throw myself into something physical.
I'm starting to get the feeling of anticipation. Not nervousness, but a sense of being switched on.
