Mel - great race report - so many personal details that let us see how this really went for you. Have a great holiday with your girls - you all deserve it. Impish x
Mel, that's wonderful - I'm so pleased for you. Inspiration indeed. I hope you're walking easier now. Enjoy the recovery and satisfaction of a challenge more than well met.
Mel, just sticking my head in to wish you all the best. Thanks for letting me join your endeavors - it's been great to read about your training while I haven't been able to do much. I'm on holiday at the moment and am enjoying some runs on the beach, but I brought my foam roller with me and have been keeping up my physio (but perhaps not so religiously as at home) as well.
I'm really looking forward to reading about how it all goes in Paris - not just the run, but the whole trip. I hope you enjoy the experience and have a great time.

Great write up Mel. My running activity consists if physio, rolling, glute exercises and stretching, with a few gentle runs in between. I did get 2 miles before my knee started to give me grief on Sunday - it was good to be out though and my younger son came with me on his bike. He was very patient on my walk breaks - I'm still having a brief walk every 5 minutes - it gets me further than constant running.
Not long until your big day - I hope you're looking forward to it - it sounds as if it's going to be great.
