It's just dawned on me that if you are one of those wonderful few tuning into this blog who don't know me - therefore having no other connection with me other than being interested in this journey -you have no idea how I fared a week last Sunday. My posting has been sadly lacking and for this I offer my most sincere and abject apologies; please don't be angry with me!
If you had images of me being defibrillated mid-course, sat in the casualty department of the Freeman Hospital (Newcastle; see?! I do my research!) wondering why I ever had such a daft idea as to run the Great North, or even simultaneously lying in the local mortuary and badgering St Peter to let me in to the pearly gates ('oh go on Pete, I was barely involved in that sacrificing goats to the druids incident; honest!') cast them from your mind at once. I'm fine, and what's more; I blummin' well did it! 2 hours, 31 minutes and 14 seconds.
As the actress said to the marathon runner; this is a bit of a short one. It's purpose, just to allay your fears that the heart is still breathing and the lungs are still beating (??!). I promise to be posting very VERY soon with more of a blow by blow account, as well as what I fear is going to be a gargantuan backstep in weight. Not only this - I know, more spoiled than the ambassador with his Ferrero Rochers! - I will have some more video and photos for you to feast your eyes on......or frighten your kids with, the choice is yours!!

Good to have you back A ... and I'm so chuffed with your running. Pics are great - the last one looks like an excruciating mix of joy and pain! But ... well done, I'm so proud of you. Next stop the London marathon ...
W-A xx

Good to be back; and you're not wrong about the expression on my face. Mainly joy though as when I saw that finish I felt no pain....
...although the pain did kick in about twenty yards after the finish!
