Finally made it, heavy day Tuesday, and busy Wednesday left stump in pain Wednesday afternoon, still limping at bedtime so didn't bode well for final run today. Woke up and pain gone but socket felt uncomfortable. After slow start to the day, I got SWMBO to drive me to next town and drop me by canal, set off on 5 mins walk, leg fit got better as walk progressed, so off onto run I go not really expecting too much, but this run was best of the lot, improved pace and really felt good. Winning at life.

Well done Pete another great effort! I have found on many occasions when you least expected it you pop one out of the bag!

Congratulations, fellow runner! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🏆🎉🥇

Funny isn’t it - those runs that we think aren’t going to amount to anything can surprise us. You must be feeling mightily pleased and proud.

You are an inspiration 😊👍
