The rain means I've had to reassess my kit and drop bag contents- there's no way of knowing how much or how heavy the rain will be and so I need to be prepared to be drenched for the duration and have a change of clothes each leg. My inability to eat properly for the last few weeks has also made planning nutrition difficult. I'm so depleted I don't know how that will affect my energy levels or appetite during the race. Being lighter will mean my body will use even fewer calories than usual but I don't know if, being malnourished, my body will rebel and start demanding lots of high calorie snacks. In any case, my drop bag started out as compact and light but is now bursting with stuff to try to cover every eventuality.
It's a cliche but it's raining in my heart too. The days aren't getting any easier. There's a gaping wound where my fella used to be. I'm going to miss him every step of every mile.
The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart.
The weatherman says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart.
