Last year was perfect to be honest. Cold and sunny and windless. Just warmed up a bit at the end for when you are starting to shut down.

14 April isn't just the marathon. It's my birthday.

I've been almost tea-total since New Years Day, Mrs W. 1 drink will probably be enough!

Bit of a long shot but I was just wondering if anyone had accommodation booked in Brighton that they won't be needing now. My daughter and her boyfriend have kindly offered to come and support me but they need somewhere to stay. I can see a few places available in Eastbourne so that would do if nothing else is available but it would be better if they were closer.

Deejay try hotels in Hassocks, Burgess Hill even Gatwick by train no more than 30mins away. May be cheaper.

Lewes has some places that aren't too pricey...and it's only about 15 mins away by train. That's where I'm staying on Sat night.

Thanks guys.
I was actually starting to believe I might be running my first marathon at Brighton after my 20 miler seemed to go o.k. yesterday. But my it band is giving me no end of grief today. I could hardly walk the dog.
Doing lots of foam rollering and stretching now ...

DeaJay - get a sports massage on your ITB. It will bloody hurt, but help.
I stopped having sports massages in 2010. Now manage will foam roller and self massage.

Thanks Tracey. I've got a massage booked for tomorrow evening. Should have been on Saturday after my long run but it was cancelled. I'm prepared for lots of pain!
