So here we go then... T minus 19.5 hours to TrailBlaster12! Following the last two days head-pickling in which I couldn;t decide what to do with myself for the best physically, I kicked out a slow 5k this morning to blow the dust of my leggies... And feel none the worse for it. A yoga class this afternoon, maybe a swim... Yeah. I'm good to go. Packed to the hilt with various vegan snacks, including, um, maybe about 17 flapjacks, avocado sandwiches, houmous, protein bars, soya milk, coconut yoghurts, apples, grapes, dried fruit and nut packets, fruity chews, gels, and I probably won't need to eat for the next week.

Four different pairs of trainers, space blanket, whistle (!?) running kit (and spares) for every possible kind of UK weather, tent, sleeping bag, first aid kit, laptop for mid run Garmin charge... What have I forgotten? 6 pairs of spare socks, a towel, toothbrush... erm...

ARGH WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN!?
Nope, that really is it. And tomorrow can bring what it brings. It's just gonna be what it is. I might walk. I might sit down. I might hop, skip and boogie. There will be bits where I laugh, bits where I feel like I wanna cry, mind games, giggles and blisters. goodness knows how many laps I'll do or at what speed but I do know I'm gonna have myself one helluva  twelve hour running party...

and it's The Final Countdown!

    Glittermouse is a visual artist, educator and practising Buddhist who also likes a bit of a run from time to time.  In 2014, she realised others could benefit quite a lot from her reflections on running trials, tribulations, triumphs and trip-ups… so she added another volume to her package of blogging adventures.
