FRIDAY 8TH APRIL

Ran from house onto canal and along to next generation centre and went into the sweat shop, had a quick look round and got 2 pairs of socks for cheaper than 1 pair out of achilles heel and i was served straight away and the chap serving was very helpfull and its close to my house. So need to remember to go to the sweat shop rather than achilles heel, who are taking advantage of folk just wanting running shoes and leaving with a big credit card bill or even a new morgage.

GLASGOW TO EDINBURGH 56m
Spent this morning getting my drinks ready for tomorrow, there is 5 check points and so iv got 5 sis drinks ready with 5 gels to take. Food wise i will be taking my no brainer rice puddings at each check point and a bar of choc at each check point. I certainly wont take everything at the check pionts but at least its there if i want it. Most important thing for tomorow is the £5 in my bum bag to get a pint at the finish and unlike last year where i kept thinking for 56 miles a nice cold pint of guinness and was served a warm pint i will go for a glass of magners with ice. So heres hoping for a nice day tomorow and lots of interesting people to talk to and not to many dogs, people cycling and walkers with prams.
Good luck to everyone who is racing at the weekend !
