Symptoms
- The inability to think of anything else except, marathon, running, marathon, running and so on
- Constant butterflies in my stomach
- Reading everything on pacing/tapering/nerves
- Every twinge is major, oh my ankle is stiff, ouch my back etc
- The fear of falling over, so much so that there will be no Killerton parkrun for me tomorrow, a safe flat one instead
- Panic, about losing things, where is the registration form?
- Constant research on the web of all things marathony
- The desire to carb load
Yes this case of Maranoia is serious but I am hoping not terminal.

About shazruns
I have been running since 2004 when I decided to do the Race for Life, as a close friend was terminally ill with cancer. Following that I did a couple of 10km at Leeds castle and Sandringham. Then in 2005 ran my first London marathon, then another in 2007 in blistering temperatures. I have entered the London marathon every year since but have been rejected, am now find maintaining my fitness & motivation hard, so when the email came through about Janathon I thought why not! Am hoping this helps with fitness, motivation and weight loss!! Wish me luck!

I would add kit indecision (though you seem to have sorted that one out in your last post — well done). Bring on the lucky shorts!
Not sure the city of London prepared for my legs in shorts! But yes kit is one thing I won’t worry about as long as I remember to pack it!
You are so funny! You should coin that word!!! Bl**dy brilliant!!!!! Love it!!!! Bless you Shazpops!!!! Camomile tea and honey!!!!!
I was thinking more Bacardi and coke!
Haaaahahaaaahaaaaa!!!!!
It’s next week isn’t it? What’s your number, I’ll look out for you on TV!
Oh god, good luck with that! Better to look for black baseball cap with orange stripes!
Lol! Aren’t there about 30,000 runners? I’ve never watched it on TV before but I think that this year I should. There has to be someone on screen for all those hours, you never know it might be you!!!
Love it. I like to refer to this as ‘Delicate Runner Syndrome’.
Oh DRS, what a great phrase!
