I haven't even come close to running anywhere near the distance for months now due to illness but don't want to be seen as a big loser to my friends who are also running it and I really really wish to avoid mutterings about whingerys and lack of manliness. So my hopes rest on perhaps being caught up in a freak zoo stampede, maybe to be run over lightly by a bus on the way there, hell I'd even settle a second minor earthquake to occour where I conveniently break both my ankles any time now so I can back out of this damn run gracefully... If all else fails though and the ridiculously improbable does not occour, well, wish me luck!
