Less than 12 hours until the gun fires at the start of the 2008 Edinburgh Marathon and the nerves are beginning to kick in. It's been such a hectic week I've hardly had time to think about it!

Getting the kit sorted out now and have just pinned the number to the front of my CHAS vest.

When it gets tough tomorrow I'll just imagine turning up at Rachel House in Kinross and handing over the cheque for all the money you have helped raise.

If anyone is in a pub in Mussleburgh tomorrow around 3.00pm, mine's a lager:-)
