Carbo-loading
April 16th, 2004, by Rich.
2 days to go.
Lots of carbohydrates! Yesterday I had pasta for lunch and pasta for tea. Today I have some donuts (mmmmm donuts).
The sponsorship total just keeps on rising - this is so much fun. As I type we’re at £3339 so let me take advantage of the calm before race day to outline how it’s all added up.
The final total will be based on everything raised on JustGiving, minus their fee, plus everything raised offline, plus any tax-concessions, plus the proceeds from auction of the football, minus the ebay fee, so even accounting for deductions, we’ve still clearly passed the three grand marker. Which is really fantastic news, and the fact that sponsorship is still arriving is giving us that last bit of encouragement as the big day looms ominously on the horizon.
We are now, really quite excited about it. We have chilled moments, nervous moments, curious moments and occasional run-away-and-hide moments… but since running away would also involve running we’ve no choice but to head up to London and run.
In other news, my shoes are back from the cobblers and are in good nick, so I’ll be wearing them on race day and not resorting to my old pair.
Carbs. Carbs. Carbs. I think I am becoming a Carbohydrate.
