Day 335: Heading up to Edinburgh for the big one - argh!

Well today's the day we set off for Scotland.

I'm just about to set off on my final one-miler before boyfriend Andy and I take on the Edinburgh Marathon tomorrow.

Feeling pretty scared and nervous, but also strangely excited for tomorrow.
I'm really hoping I've packed all the right things and it all goes as smoothly as possible.

Almost ready

When it gets to this point, I suppose there's nothing you can do except have confidence in the training you've done, and in your fitness, and just go for it.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I'll do my best - and hopefully will cross the finish line as near to four hours as possible. Anything under four hours would be an absolute miracle, and I would be over the moon with a sub-4 time, but I'm certainly not holding my breath for that.

I'm so glad that my mum and dad and Andy's mum and dad, Una and John, as well as my auntie Caroline and my nanna Josie are going to be there cheering us on.

Thank you again to all my amazingly generous sponsors - you will keep me going.

I'm also so proud and happy to be running alongside (well, behind!) my fantastic fiance Andy - he will be amazing tomorrow, and will get a much better time than me - thank you for all your support, you big hero.

Here it goes....
