Friday before preparation

And so today I am sitting down at my desk knowing that I am ready to give this marathon a go. I don't really know what it is going to be like exerting my energy over such a long period of time. I don't really know if I'll do another one. I don't really know if I'll make it back to Scarborough.

As with all truly boring, if excellent, blogs, I intend to reflect on what I need over the next few days.
