Good night. And good luck to all the #bristol10k runners for the morning :)
@Bristol52 You too!

@theshinythings Excellent! I’ll give you a wave if I see you :)
@chris_j_hughes They’re a bugger to light while you’re running…
@misslo Thanks! Will do.
@misslo Bristol 10K. Weather’s looking good, and it starts about a mile from my front door :) Doesn’t get much better…
@malvernrunner Just avoid mirrors until the race start; you’ll be fine :D
@richardjfoster After the first time, I now try to at least do mine the afternoon before, when I’m not panicking about leaving on time…
(And if it gives you some idea of the crap I consider taking along, here’s what I prepared for the Bath Half: mattgetsrunning.com/2012/03/10/wha… )

@malvernrunner I’ve got better at it. Before my first race, a couple of years ago, I was in front of the mirror for what seemed like hours.

Pinning a race number onto a shirt can take quite a while. Well, it can if you’re a bit OCD about getting it level and centered.
@MissEmmeline I know. x
@MissEmmeline Boys in Easton are clearly fools. Good luck with the other one. Don’t you go too far away, you. x
@MissEmmeline Anyway. You having a good day, kitten?
@Picklechu If there is, it’s so secret it’s not in the manual, damn it.
@MissEmmeline Hey, at least I posted about it on Twitter rather than adding more dents to the front of the washer…

Arse. I left eight bars of space in this song for a guitar solo. I now do not think this song needs a guitar solo.
Whoo! Left my fundraising late, but an anonymous benefactor has kicked me off with a tenner. justgiving.com/Matt10K2012 Thank you, mystery donor!
@liveindetail @Jorence I’m just glad he’s not seen any of the Olympic Cluedo coverage yet.
Right. Some chores done, now it’s time for some shopping. What an exciting day…
@RamonYouseph @Jorence Ta. Definitely better this morning.
