    It's all in the mind, and the legs, and the arms, and the torso, and the back and the glutes, and the ankle flexion, in fact it hurts all over. Not long now, Emmi, you'll chuffing get round, with plenty of chuffing

    you know what Merry? of all the things I've done and still to do this year......this is the one thing I'm dreading the most!! Not even that worried about the IM any more but I'll be glad when it's monday and this thing is out the way!!

    Think I've built it up to be a lot more than it is??? Maybe, maybe not....either way i reckon those pints will be well earned!!

    Keeping my merrylegs crossed for good weather, emmi, my mates are dreading it too, wonder if its anything to do with the horror stories i've told them about Hardknott pass At least we hit it after 60 miles instead of 100 like the Fred Whitton I can smell the Guinness already!
