Hi Claire - good now thanks. I have posted my run report. Don’t know about you, but I found it hard to walk after I stopped running, so had an epsom bath and then fell asleep for 3 hrs. I could not face any food until 5pm, and had not eaten since 6am. I knew I had to eat. I was hungry but my stomach was not happy. However once I started eating I felt much better. Not too sore now, just muscle fatigue/tenderness really. How about you? Congrats again btw!! X
