Friday and Saturday

After the hectic day at the Excel, we decided that we would pack a lot into Friday and do very little on Saturday, well that was the idea!!
Friday we had a full, fat boy breakfast at the hotel and set off into the big city to go to Madam Tussauds Muesum. Claire should have brought the free tickets, but forgot!!
In her wisdom, we realised that WHSmiths were providing the same offer on the rear of their receipts. So when we got to Baker Street, we went to the nearest WHSmiths, which was a five minute walk. They had no receipts with the offer on. The nearest one was about a mile away on Oxford Street, so off I walked. This shop was within Selfridges and surprisingly, they had no receipts either. They rang their nearest store, which was at Oxford Plaza and after another mile walk, we finally got a ticket, but my legs were starting to feel the strain.
We got to Madam Tussauds and walked around here for the next three hours, people bumping into you and standing on your toes. Half way around, felt a strain in my groin, which was not good. Hobbled around the final few yards and bought some deep heat. Back to the hotel and rest, altnot as much as I had hoped for.
Saturday was to be a relaxing day at Lakeside, watching a film and eating pizza to get my carbs up. This turned into a long walk around all of Lakeside and further pain to my groin. Watched Hop and then ate pizza. Drove back to the hotel and more deep heat applied.
Kit out and ready for the run on Sunday and tried to get some sleep. Very nervous and concerned about the injury.
Still not too late to sponsor me on the below link:
