Reminds me, I must make my list! But - just off the top of my head (may not apply to you)

Travelcard to get home - the last thing I need is to stand in a queue to get one afterwards

I'm having more Lucozade Sport and a protein drink - same sort of idea as Hilly, want to get a mix of nurtrients and stuff into me quickly but without solids.

No sports bra for me!

Lindsay-it's excellent for getting carbs and protein in after a long run and I've used it throughout my training and after a 20 mile race.

I'll be wearing the sports bra!

Hilly
Where did you get your wrist purse? I was going to wear an arm purse but they were all to big. I wouldn't have trained with a wrist purse but i'm sure it won't be that uncomfortable and i've got a few things to carry and don't fancy a bum bag.

Hi Ms Tickle-I got mine from a local sports shop, but I've seen them on some of the online running store sites.

It's got towelling on the inside a bit like a sweat band so no chaffing. Therefore I don't think it would hurt to have not trained with one.

Championchip timer. Anti-inflammatories (have 3-4 straight after and a couple before)- exceeds daily dosage, but this is one special day in a year.

Yeah, Rego sport.

Shades as well in case it is a bright sunny day.

Can of coke

Must have my can of coke when I finish.
And maybe a packet of ciggies.
Maybe not.
