Aubrey: One week to go and I am like a coiled spring. It is very frustrating I have a lot of energy but have to wait until race day before I can release it, as the tapering (wind down) has started. This means that you must rest for about two weeks prior to race day with some short runs, so rather than the normal 25-30 k at the weekend I ran just 12 and this week will only do three 5 k runs.
On the upside the nervous excitement has started, and we will be heading into the Dublin City Marathon Expo this Saturday morning to pick up the race pack, with race numbers and some fun stuff...
I just hope the weather keeps fine and we don’t have a repeat of yesterday as I will need to bring arm bands and a canoe on the day if it does. Not sure if that's in the rules!
