But don't you know aliboo that sports masseuses are sadists and therefore it's entirely fitting that one suggested this run! Haha! Good for you. Is there a medal?

It says special race momento and mystery guest starting the race! Was only Β£12 to enter! Yep my sports lady does tough mudders! I said what about my knee and she assured me it will be fine, and then there will be 2 weeks rest before this!!
