Whether or not it’ll rain?
Three days to go until the London Marathon, and all my preparation is done. I'm now carbo-loading, which has to be the easiest part of the training. Tomorrow, I'll go out and run about 4 miles to keep things ticking over. It's funny that at the start of the year 4 miles was a run - now it's hardly worth getting my running gear on for! I suppose that's a sign that the training has gone pretty well.
The one thing I have no control over is the weather.
Having trained in great conditions for running (nice and cool, maybe a drop of rain, little wind), the weather this week has made a turn for the worse/better. It's pretty warm and humid at the moment, and not ideal conditions for long-distance running. So I'm wondering what it's going to be like on Sunday. I've consulted two different sites for their forecasts, and they are markedly different.
The Weather Channel v the BBC Weather (if you click on those links you'll see the forecast from whenever you click - so no point clicking on them sometime in May, unless you're interested in the weather forecast for London from then).
Anyway - this is what they say the weekend, and most importantly Sunday will be like:

I’ll have a chat with God tonight and see what he can do. Apparently he’s still in touch with Elvis, and he can part clouds - a bit like Moses and that river - only much cooler… ah-hoh-ha!

I predict “light drizzle”. You heard it here first.

No ‘light drizzle’ unfortunately. The Weather Channel were closest, but sadly even they underestimated the temperature which was 18 degrees and above - in the shade!! Not a cloud in the sky, and boy did it make it hard work.
