Thanet 20

What an incredibly painful way to spend Mother's Day!! Ran the Thanet 20 mile road race this morning, starting at Sandwich and then hugging the coastline round Ramsgate to Broadstairs before turning and repeating the course homeward bound. Felt fine until 13-14 miles when suddenly EVERYTHING hurt, ankle, hips, stomach, shoulders.....last 6 miles were pretty agonising with the added delight of a nasty headwind. Crossed the line with Indie, Kofi and Daisy in tow before collapsing in a heap on the grass. Everyone else looked pretty sore and knackered too! Oh I love running....... (Hastings Half Marathon in 2 weeks).....

Nice job, well done you maschist. I on the other hand had what I'm told is called a "lie in" on Sunday morning - not sure how to pronounce it but it was a strange feeling - probably won't do it again though, it did seem like a bit of a waste of a Sunday morning.
