Now stressing about being under-trained for Sunday. Considered not doing Peninsula and pinning all my hopes on West Coast but think that will make me too anxious! A friend is getting me a sub 5 hour pacing chart and just going to do my best not to be too psychologically wrecked if I don't make it! Trying to see Peninsula as a "practice run" for now, and West Coast as my qualifier. Hope that fools my mind into relaxing from the mind numbing fear that is encompassing me right now!!

Is it just a club run? Sally, you will be just fine Take it easy on the 30km this weekend so that you aren’t still recovering by the 21st… Is it just a club run?

And it will be the first marathon I have ever done and my qualifier (hopefully!) for Comrades and (possibly!) Two Oceans. My training has NOT been going well, first I had blisters, then I got gastro, then my mom went away and I couldn't do my long runs. So the longest run I have done is 23kms, this weekend I am doing a 30 km and then I guess I just have to pray it will be enough to enable me to do the Peninsula in under five hours ... so if you think you're nervous, you have NO idea how I feel right now!!!!
