packing done, getting excited now, wind still behind us!!

Kit packing on the "to do" list for this afternoon.

My guess 14:59:59 - that's for both of us of course !!

Not run since Saturday's 9 miler - i am not really that bothered this week cos it will have no impact whatsoever on my fitness and i need to conserve as much energy as possible.  May go for a 4 mile jog later today though just to keep my mind sane - mind you, most of my friends and family reckon sanity left me a long time ago !!

Did my 9 miler first thing in the sunshine - raining now.  Long range forecast shows 15 degrees, showery but most importantly, a westerly wind to help us along.

Richard - i'm taking my light showerproof running jacket and a pair of very lightweight walkers waterproof trousers (~£10 from Decathlon) in my rucksack - would wear the jacket if it rains but am only taking the trousers to comply with the mandatory kit list - the trousers are only really needed if you have to stop injured and need to keep warm/dry, i reckon. 

4 miles easy tonight and it felt like a marathon!  This is what they call the madness of tapering!
