I've always been a worrier and this weekend has proved to be no exception. As soon as the excitement of ironing the letters on (yes I ironed them on and neglected to iron the rest of the top) the panic started to set it.
Race day is bloody close now, and I can only just about manage half the distance of the 10k route. I did improve my Parkrun time by a good minute this week, but I need to be able to run twice that distance in what is now less than three. weeks.
Added to that, I'm moving house this week, which means training might get a bit difficult. I'm not saying I won't be doing any, but it's likely to be more frequent, shorter runs.
Only 21 days to go, and while I'm not saying I don't think I'll be able to do it (I'll crawl over that finish line if I have to!!), I'm really really worried that I won't be very good at it. And those of you who know me well will know that I don't like to be not very good at things.
I'm also worried that I've barely had any sponsors yet! I'm hoping that as next week's end of month pay day comes and the days to the race get nearer, then people will start to donate.
In summary, this weekend I'm panicking. I'm panicking about running, I'm panicking about sponsors and I'm panicking about moving house. All these things combined mean that Aldi definitely need to start panicking about their wine stock reserves...
If you're one of those people who don't have too much month left at the end of the money, please drop by my Just Giving page and donate a little something, I really do appreciate it!!!
