The hours until my first marathon of the year are whisking away rapidly. I am still busy with prepping the final arrangements for the big day, so I definitely do not feel ready but I wonder if you will ever feel ready until you have actually completed the entire race.
I will have to wait and see…
Last night I visited a physio therapist for some pain in my neck, it is definitely better today but not a 100%. I will see him again tomorrow, I really hope that he can help me to sort it out then!
I am also loading up on beetroot juice, apparently it oxygenates the blood or something, well whatever it does, I am sure it won’t hurt except for the anxiousness when my pee is red and it takes a few seconds to remember the beetroot juice.
I also ordered some goodies today, a bluetooth headset and a running belt. Apparently a really good running belt, or so I would hope as it cost me 30 Euros! I have never ran with a running belt but I will need something for this race as I will be taking a few gels with.
I won’t make the mistake of running without them again… It was really tough the last marathon that I did, I could feel my body needing some nourishment, some sugar and just some pure energy…
Well this time I will provide it.
Sleep is also another preparation and I must make sure to get enough of it, so cheers for now!
