Runners Number

Here it is. Dah dahhhhhh. Months of training, a morning at Excel in London to pick it up from the FLM Expo and here it is. My Runners Number. Number 24579, Blue start, pen 4. Next stop Greenwich. The small round thing in the top left is the Championchip that will be laced into my shoe and provide me with my marathon time.

But whats that in the bottom right? It's from the goodie bag and what does that say, 'for breast feeding mothers'? Is there something about marathon running I don't know? Maybe its time to tell you the 'Marathon Runners Secret'.

The Marathon Runners Secret
One of the consequences of running for a longtime is chafing and I know from a previous marathon that the parts on me that chafe are my nipples. I discovered this when I got in the shower after the New Forest Marathon. 'Ohhhhhh', I said, 'thats strange, my nipples feel like they have been worn right off'! So I took a look, and hey, they had been. So to take care of my newly recovered nipples, I will treat them and use the FLM goodie bag item.


3 days to go. Am I nervous? Yep, too right I am. I'm as ready as I could be, but is that ready enough? Probably, but my stomache is churning and all my thoughts are about Sunday.
