Pitstop at home 2/3 through mega-long run. First bit was with @mrs_sockvictim; now running to meet @kunaal84. Going well. I CAN DO THIS.


Awesome. Just awesome.


What an amazing run. I’m so glad I went. There was serious doubt yesterday that I’d get it done. I came down with a sore throat in the afternoon, and I felt crappy all evening. Consensus on DM and elsewhere seemed to be that as long as I wasn’t running a fever, as long as all my symptoms were “above the neck,” as long as I was well-hydrated and ran slowly, as long as I LISTENED TO MY BODY – then I was okay to run….


I am so sore. Every part of me is sore. This is the kind of soreness that can only be remedied with Cheese-on-a-Stick from the Easter Show.
