Final preparations

Not long now before I head off to my training camp so today I was picking up my freeze dried foot, compass, whistle, survival bag, energy bars, blister pads etc etc. Then I headed off to the poditrist to have my new high tech insoles sorted. They will be tested tomorrow morning and if they need adjusted he has said he'll open up the workshop and do it tomorrow night. It great having that kind of support. I've borrowed a Garmin that won't require recharging and with a foot pod I will be able to tell distance and pace which will be important in such a strange environment. Today was the second day of rest from running having run 50 odd miles last week. I had an early morning yoga session which felt amazing. It is such a good start to the day, like warming up your engine before setting off on a journey. It's important that I make sure my legs are stetched every day as it is my lower back especially as I am carrying 8kg when I run at the moment. This is why I will also be having a sports massage tomorrow to ease any aches in pains before I set off on Thursday to the Sahara. Finally tomorrow night will be for my rucksack packing. Should be fun! Just hope I can get it all in and then manage to lift it!
