Well, I had to pull out of the Spine race half a mile before checkpoint 3 . This massive event just got the better of me again, blisters too big to hobble on . Sounds ridiculous now . Like an idiot, I had to get help to get down to the checkpoint, after maxing out on every painkiller I had by lunchtime and realising sadly that I had nothing left to give .
But, that's OK. I had the BEST time while I was out there, ran approx 140 miles, which is the longest I've ever run continuously. More importantly, I just got to meet and run with some amazing people and it was brilliant.
What a fab fab fab time
Never say never in life
I'm currently trying to make my way back down to Manchester-I would pick a day to dnf where there's no trains running again
What can I say but a million thank yous to anyone that gave me good wishes- they mean the world
