So, as I sit here writing up this post I'm dressed in my running kit, ready to go out for my final pre-marathon run. Sunday is the big day, looming large in my thoughts. Did I train enough? Will I perform on the day? What if it rains? What sort of maniac goes vegan and trains for his first marathon at the same time?
It is at this important juncture I need to stop and just ask myself the most important question... What would a real Aussie think when presented with a proper challenge?
She'll be 'right mate.
Damn right it will. Don't you think so too Paul?

So, time to just suck it up and see how I go. People do these things in their 70s or in absurd costumes, I should be fine with my normal run gear and oh-so-masculine pink race vest from Breast Cancer Care.

Did I mention I'm running for charity? I did? Well I better mention it again anyway! Head along to
my Just Giving website - every pound given is matched by Barclays, so every little bit helps!
I did have a bit of a wrinkle in the preparation when I got a cold a couple of weeks back. But that seems to have passed and I'm back to fighting fit. It may have proven that a vegan diet doesn't make you cold-proof, but at least my recovery has been swift!
Now, I better get out for that run...
