Not long to go now and I'm at a bit of a standstill with training as I don't feel that much more is going to make a huge difference now. So am busying myself with short runs (8 miles) with packed bag (oh dear - should have started doing this a long time ago!) and testing out different kit combinations. Pretty much have all the essentials and just have to decide how much space/ weight, if any, to give to luxuries such as soap!
Have ordered all my "food" from 00runningfuels - the discovery of red Maca, pinole ad Chia seeds has been a fantastic boost to my training and will be so easy to carry on the race. Their raw chocolate bars are wonderful too but sadly won't survive 6 days in rucksack.
Was lucky enough to share a room with a hill runner, Christine Patterson, at my first aid course last weekend. She put me in touch with a couple of her friends who have done multi day events and they have reassured me that I seem to be on the right track. Basic message from everyone I talk to and everything I read is that the physical training is going to help my progress, but the main thing that's going to get me to the finish is my mental strength. Am very curious about how it's going to be and have decided that curiosity is an underrated emotion - it can lead us into some great adventures if we listen to it....
Was filmed and interviewed for STV news on Sunday up in Glencoe. So much easier than being filmed by Gerry who just gets "you didn't ask me the right question" or " I think you should have made me run in that direction" Poor thing!
