OK

It's fine - I am back pounding the streets at half past sparrow's fart in the morning and it's ok. Some days I guess are better than others.

Small personal advance: I have added a small amount of extra hillage into the run and I'm not taking any longer over it. Feel proud until I remember that I passed no one this morning - everyone and his dog ran past me. But the dog was struggling.

Just peeped into another 1/2 marathon blogger's blog and hit on the phrase, 'it's all about the photo finish'. At last I have a realistic goal - to cross the finish line upright, injury-free and photogenic.

I have my work cut out.
