Who in their right mind would enter a race so soon after Christmas?! And now I have to run 10 miles while feeling like a stuffed turkey, thanks to all the food I've consumed over the past week or so.
It's not even as if 10 miles is an easy distance for me! I've only ever run it three times before, the last time was October when I set out far too fast and almost gave up half way through, the finish line bling the only thing keeping me going!
My Garmin has now been set to buzz if I'm either running too fast or too slow, to help with establishing and maintaining a sensible pace. Without this I would undoubtedly set off at 7.30 mile pace, which, for me, is completely impossible to sustain!
Not that I'm running to achieve a decent time. Tomorrow's run is all about burning a few of those Christmas calories and doing a run with friends, one of whom is celebrating her birthday. Could say she's mad doing a run on her birthday but I've already signed up for one the day after mine next October!
Energy gels, water bottle and clothes are all ready for an early start tomorrow. Fingers crossed my many injury niggles stay away and it's a race that I can look back at fondly and may even sign up for again next year! 
Already looking forward to the post-race celebrations!!
