Its almost time....

.....its so hot here, been sat on me sun lounger sipping smoothies and erm smoking....
Its gonna be tough tomorrow but I know that the crowd and the other 34999 runners will carry me onwards!! YAY!! :)

Its gonna be nad too-loose goats in the road etc. Hellish yesterday en route to the mountain there was these donkeys coming down with grass on them and they looked like big puffs of fluff, Niki and I were cracked up!!

I cant believe Im in Ethiopia...madness.....its proper Africa if that makes sense. Tin shacks and the like. Whilst laying in bed this morn tho I had a thought and compared it to Asia and Asia wins...thats where my heart lies (oh and in Cornwall aswell)!!

I know Im gonna be very emotional tomorrow too...its such a thing to do and without bragging Im very proud of meself. I'm pleased to be raising money for the RBL and Ethiopiad.

Ooh speaking of the RBL, my taxi driver on Weds morning drinks in the Exeter RBL and invited me down to meet the war veterans-NVA I think-proper D-Day hero's...awesome..I'd love that, few beers with the ole boys, ansum :)

No commando rolls yet but plenty of comedy moments as you can imagine. Niki managed to almost get us locked out of our safe aswell....had to call the manager and the man with his box...hellish...we got it working tho PHEW :)

Argh 11 mins left on me timer.....ok boring comment but the Hilton is very nice and I will meet the other international runners tonight at the "pasta party"....

Right, offski now to go and retreive Niki from the poolside and get some water in prep for tomorrow. I am hoping to be able to update around 10am maybe UK time tomorrow......

Blimey.......
