Nine days & counting......

Don't know what's wrong with me.....I really have got that spring in my step.....
Tracey & I walked the same 6 miles again tonight in 1 hour 6 minutes & I felt like I was walking on air....it was really fantastic!
We set off an hour later than normal & I think this was a really good idea as the weather was a bit cooler although still pleasant & we must remember that we will be walking overnight when the temperature will be very different.
I am looking forward to the walk soooo much but do have a few worries apart from the fact that it's 26.2 miles......
A previous moonwalker has told us that one of her biggest problems was lack of sleep & that it was in the middle of the night that her body hit the "lack of sleep" wall & felt like it would just stop......do you know, I hadn't even thought about that. Fingers crossed then, guess it's just another challenge to get through. I'm not going to stay up all night in preparation though! Perhaps remembering the fantastic nights I have had in Prague where I haven't got to bed until 7am (YES, it's true!!) will help! I survived my last 3 night visit to Prague with just over 14 hours sleep (one of which was an afternoon nap!) but of course alcohol played a part in that & not walking 26.2 miles!!
Tracey's brother has run the London marathon before & says that no amount of training can prepare you for the last 6.2 miles & that these can feel like another 20 miles.....oh!! We know that the last few miles will be probably be the biggest hurdle as we just don't know how our bodies will react, a very scary thought. That will be when we will need the biggest support & hopefully when there will be lots of people to cheer us on. So, if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night......send me a text, it could do me the world of good!!
Only one more 6 miler to do & then it's just 3 miles on Tuesday (in our bras!!) & Thursday. Can you believe it, only nine days to go........
