, only need my mp3 for company. Not a fan of big crowds of runners.I've generally found a large chunk of runners take it seriously (some a little to seriously), but there is always a good helping of runners there for the occasion and to enjoy themselves
out, you will enjoy it and it will make it easier for the day after. Trust me it works i have it all as a routine now - running gear is set out night before, alarm goes off half hour early, i put on my MP3 with fave music of all time and get out
