7am, and a few things to add to my checklist:
Some bad news perhaps: it’s looking as though M might not be able to get to London to watch the race after all. Something has cropped up, and time will be a bit tight. Over the past week I’ve had 5 or 6 offers of support on the day but I’ve, perhaps foolishly, put them off. I didn’t really want the fuss. I’m now thinking how sad it would be if there was no one there to see me weep at the finish line.
Further update later…
