Eerie an kinda nice that I can just get out of bed, go downstairs and relax for the first Sunday in about two months! Tapering, so no big running today; just relaxing, not to mention a bit of delivering sponsorship leaflets around Edenfield.
On that subject for a second, note to anyone intending to deliver paper leaflets through letter boxes; and please benefit from my recent experience, I urge you!! Do not, under any account, push your fingers in so far that they poke through to the other side of the door. Most of the time, nothing will happen; but just when you start to get all blasé and all cautiousness is forgotten, a lovely little cuddly dog will attempt to take a dirty great bite out of your finger. The little b......rascal.......
I resisted the temptation to bang on the door and give the owner a good mouthful (I guess as it is across the threshold barrier of their property, so fido is perfectly within his rights to have a crack at me), and opted instead for colourful language, hopping up and down and waving my hand in the air like I had a piece of sellotape stuck to it (further note to self; not something which is of any benefit whatsoever).
In actual fact, it is less than seven days to go, as a week from now I will be sleeping at my brothers house, for once NOT cuddling my teddy bear; opting instead for a nice shiny medal!!
Every day it gets closer, as does reality. Still; there is a week of work to go yet, and I have to go and pack for two weeks away from home (back to work after marathon weekend); plenty of other things to focus my mind on, which has got to be a good thing as if I am constantly in marathon mode it is going to drive me crazy!
Too late.......
