The Day Before!

Well its 6:46 am and I am sat on the train on my way to London as my journey to the marathon draws close to its end! I didn't sleep very well last night, I kept dreaming that I had forgotten something at the starting line and had to keep going home to get whatever it was I had forgotten. In my dream I was wearing some awful yellow gym shorts (like the ones they made you wear in PE!). I've been up since 5 and I have a busy day ahead. Lee and I have to check in at our hotel... fortunately we have a 5 star hotel in mayfair... would you belive it was the ONLY hotel space left available out of all the travel lodges and holiday Inns, and was half the price of the crappy places! After check in, its off to the EXPO center to collect my official race number and visit the marathon exhibition as well as visit the cancer research stand to say hello, hopefully I'll meet some other cancer research runners so I wont be running on my own.
I feel incredibly nervous, but also very excited. Im excited that I have got this far and that I will be taking part in the marathon but I am nervous too because I dont know what to expect.

Nadzie is going to keep the forum and Facebook (search for the adjamiba fan base) updated tomorrow as she pesters Lee for information (he'll probably be in a pub somewhere!) so at least I know that you will all be supporting me in spirit.

Thank you to everone who has sponsored and donated so far and Thank you all for your support and for your understanding of my lack of communication over the past 6 months. If I have time I might to another update tomorrow morning but if not, I'll text/ring nadzie and she will fill you all in.

Thanks you again... Wish me Luck!
Lots of Love, Ems xxx
