In busy times of my life I write lists, before Christmas I do a list, before a holiday there is a list, before moving there was a HUGE list, once it is on paper I can relax and my brain can switch off, I feel things are under control.
Here is my list for this weekend
- Wets wipes-portoloos not good
- Hankies-men size times two one for the run, the other safety pinned to trousers (think morris dancer) just in case needed
- Food –banana for pre run, marathon bar for after
- Drink-water pre run diet coke for after
- Jelly babies stashed in a plastic bag
- Gels-just in case
- Safety pins-lots of them, just in case a fellow runner turns up without
- Phone
- Bin bags times two one to sit on at Blackheath and the other to wear if necessary
- Warm jumper with paint stains
- Capris
- Big running knickers
- Bra
- Shirt
- Socks times two pairs
- Trainers times two pairs
- Emergency £10
- Towel to change behind in Horse Guards parade
- Imodium
- Ibuprofen
- Bio Freeze
- Race Number
- Chip
Phew, now off to buy a bigger suitcase!
