Hi Paul,

Well done for completing the race.  I know it was difficult for you but it was a warm day and the effect of the medications can really affect the energy you have.  It will be harder than it was in the past, never underestimate the effects of Hormone Therapy.  I am really struggling with fatigue in recent weeks.

I'm really proud of the effort you made today.  You've inspired me to go out and get back to my training.  Thanks.

Steve

Hi Paul/Lynn and anyone else who may have tackled the run.

Well done to you, fantastic achievement. I did it with bob and our family last year, we're not big runners and appreciate how hard it is. I also suffered and made everyone else suffer on the journey home in car vomiting persistently into a plastic bag!!!!! ;-((.

Hope you got round ok Lynn

Well done again, running for a good course.

:-( :-( :-(

I bowed to advice and family pressure and did not start. I have a bond so guaranteed place every year and I think that takes pressure off if you are not absolutely match fit. Regretted it in the end as I practically walked the entire 13 miles trying to get photos of family & friends as they ran past various points :-)

It was great to see so many PCUK vests though, including a young lad doing it in support of his dad. I know we raised a total of k26 for brain tumour research - I hope PCUK will announce how much was raised in total by their runners yesterday.

(PS just realised why I didn't spot you Paul ... I was looking for PCUK / Men Utd vests and you were running for a completely different charity! Silly me.

Hoping I will be fit for the Brownlee Triathlon in 2 weeks' time - we have entered as a family relay so John is cycling, Rachel is swimming and I am (allegedly) running. I may have to offload the run onto son or son-in-law :-(
