4 Days to pain

It is the 3rd of October. That means in 4 days time I am going to run the Cologne Marathon. It seems that from the discussions I have had with others I should be a lot more nervous than I am.

My training has not gone quite as well as I had planned. Partly due to work commitments and partly due to my lack of commitment to the cause. However, I can run 13 miles. I've no idea if I can run any further because I haven't tried. I'm thinking in hindsight that I perhaps should have singed up for a half.

Oh well, It's done now. At 12.00 on Sunday (German time) I will be setting off around Cologne and hope to return by 5pm. We shall see how it goes.....
