The calm before the storm!
July 20, 2009The nerves are really beginning to kick in. Couldn’t sleep properly last night, lying awake just thinking about the fact that it’s only a few days away now. Taking it easy this week, just treating myself to a few massages and taking a few trips to the sauna and Jacuzzi to properly de-stress before the big day!
The thing I’m most worried about now is the altitude. I’m reading up on it at the moment, and apparently there’s not much we can do, except try to acclimatise ourselves as best we can in the two days before the challenge.
Been getting lots of support and good wishes from everyone which is great as it really helps spur you on. My new found fame as the girl from the Powerade ad – is quite weird to say the least! I kind of feel at this point I’m not just doing it for myself anymore – I’m running it for everyone else aswell, everyone who has helped me along the way- because I wouldn’t have got here without them.
For someone who never classified themself as a runner – I guess I’ve come a long way already. I know this is a once in life time experience so I’m determined to enjoy it regardless of what happens. Guess it’s now or never!
Will check in soon and let you know how we survive the Alps!
