Another update, this time on the Kidney Research UK side of things. I received my race pack through the door on Saturday and found it to be more exciting than I had originally anticipated. Contained in the pack was my running vest (I like it), pre-race poncho, two inflatable flags and a headband complete with troll hair (see new picture on right hand side!). I’ll need to send the vest away to get my name printed in the space they provide, better than getting it printed the day before when it will be mayhem down there.
Perhaps the most impressive thing to come with the pack was the letter, specifically details about the post-race reception which they are holding in the Charing Cross Hotel, a full 0.7 miles from the finish line. Once I stroll down The Mall (or stagger, perhaps) I can go in for some free food, drink and even a massage from the kind people at Kidney Research UK. It will also give me the chance to meet up with those who are down to see me run but also meet others who are running for the charity and those involved in organising the event. I think that this will be a really worthwhile part of the day and I’m really looking forward to it.
