took nurofen and all seems well so looking good...beautiful place Milan but we had a couple of close escapes with the lowlife scum...shame for the city to target tourists, scare away the tourists and we won't be back you know!

I'm staying close to Coloseum and have no idea where the expo is, can anyone post directions?

By train from Termini or Tiburtina Station take the Metro B direction Laurentina and get off at

So..... After all of the comings and goings, everything stays the same. All good.

Unfortunately on a personal front, I am in football speak, 'extremely doubtful and face a late fitness test'.

The achilles injury that I picked up last Thursday hasn't really improved and I don't thimk it will.

I fly at at 6.15 in the morning and am going straight to Expo.

I am going to have a run on Saturday morning and make a decision then. Obviously my Saturday will be very different if I do or don't run.

If I don't get the chance to say it before the day, Have a great day all and enjoy this fantastic city.

I hope to tell you all how slow I was on Sunday afternoon.

Enjoy.

Big swing in the odds.

More than 4 days now favourite.

Bookies still have a 2 day conclave as favourite. That would mean all finished on Thursday.

I think it will be the enthronement on Sunday.

I'm quite excited by the thought of running round Rome at night and I will certainly be running for a lot longer than most of you!!

Another injury scare for me yesterday. Had a runners knee problem for about 4 weeks and finally had a run with no pain - Hooray.....

Then after 4.5 miles I have to stop with a pain in my left achilles. Sitting here now with one of my daughters cuddly toy heated beanie thingys on my calf.

Keep smiling everyone and look forward to the wonderful event that we will be a part of.

I just want to say how fantastic the communication and effort to keep everything on track is from the organisers.

Regular updates and every effort being made tp help people.

Big well done and thanks
