Georgia Marathon, training done

My Georgia Marathon training is done. 17.5 miles round south London saw the end of my efforts to be ready for the race in Atlanta. Has it been enough? Realistically, that doesn't matter. Enough or not, I have to run. But I am quietly confident. After all it is my ninth marathon.

I fly off on Friday. This gives me two days to recover from the flight and sort myself out for the race. As ever, there is an obscenely early start - 7.00am. That means up at 5.00am. Hopefully my brain will still be on UK time, i.e. 5 hours ahead, so it won't feel so early. At least I should be done by 12.00 - time to enjoy a slap-up meal and few beers. Mmm... Nice.
