Ready to Rock!

After a quick, if soggy stint of marshalling at South Manchester ParkRun this morning, I hopped on the train over to Liverpool, where I shall be attempting to provide 4:45 pacing services tomorrow at the Rock 'n' Roll Liverpool Marathon! It's amazing how much of your day can be taken up with running, even if you haven't jogged a mile! Unfortunately, my funky pacing kit got lost in the post (I'm actually gutted as the T shirts provided by CEP are awesome) so I shall be having to free style it in the wardrobe department. I stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb on stage this afternoon as we were questioned about our thoughts on the day, I'm sure everyone thought I was some kind of wannabe running impostor!

So guess whose kit went missing then!?

I guess there's a reason it's called the Rock 'n' Roll series!
Cool as the T shirt would have been, my main concern at the moment is the pacing flag as I have no experience whatsoever of wearing on of these, let alone running a marathon in one. Well, I guess that will just have to be part of the challenge!

It was great meeting everyone again (there were some familiar faces from the social run last week) and having a browse round the expo. I tried very hard not to abuse the High5 energy bar samples toooo much (I'm not sure I really like it, I'd better try another piece), but this was made easier by the kind gift of a marathon nutrition kit to all the pacers!

It's an early coach back to Liverpool in the morning (trains don't run early enough in the morning on Sundays, even if I do!) so it's an early night for me (for once!) and fingers (but not toes!) crossed for tomorrow; though forgive me if the update doesn't get published until next week!

P.S. If you're wondering what happened to my Juneathon credentials for the 13th, I cycled to ParkRun, OK?
