I can’t believe it’s come round this quickly. It’s 47 days until the run and the organisation is in full swing. Today I’ve booked accommodation for three of the seven nights and somehow that’s made it seem very real indeed!
We had a get-together this morning and discussed some practical things like what do we do if someone can’t continue, what first aid equipment do we need to take and such like.
I’m hit by a mixture of excitement and nausea! Excited that it’s going to be a most excellent adventure. Nauseous that I have to run 150 miles in 6 days.
Booking places has raised a couple of issues though. Such as some places where we’re staying don’t serve food until 7pm but we’re arriving at about 4pm. So we’ll need to ensure that we have enough food with us to last until 7pm. That may sound a bit strange but even running 13 miles I get ravenous. After 26 miles, across Hadrian’s Wall I dread to think what my hunger will be like. I guess there’ll be plenty of sheep grazing nearby if things get desperate…
