Me, on the other hand. Sorry, I, on the other hand, have been sitting in silence filling up my belly with pasta and Ipod with uplifting tunes. I thought it was going to be fun but I just keep thinking if Cake's The Distance track is the one to get me through the Isle of Dogs, if Eels can get me to the Embankment or if by listening to From Paris To Berlin (purely for medicinal purposes) I'll miss the people who be turning out to cheer for me.
It has been a dilemma 'to Ipod or not to Ipod' and I hope not to switch it on at all to listen to really, and just used it to gauge my pace. But I know I'll need it at some stage.
They say don't do anything different to your earlier runs on the day. This is mainly about diet and pace. And if you haven't eaten three bananas before you go on your long Sunday run then don't do it for the marathon. But I've been listening to my mate's music on long runs which consists of Manu Chao, Jens Lekman and Kate Nash. All of which I like but haven't added to the big day's running track list.
Actually, having just put tunes on, I'm now going away from the computer, not going to think about what is on my Ipod until tomorrow and enjoy the shuffle surprise as my body surprises me by what it can tolerate when running for possibly 5 hours. I hope.
Can anyone guess what I'm having for dinner tonight?
