Today my shin was a little sore, my knee was a little sore, and I woke at 6am. I haven’t trained because of my acute tendinitis and MCL injury and my toe pain. But the Royal Parks Half marathon, my first half marathon, is a week away so I needed to push myself. And so I did.

Please note FARTHEST, MOST CALORIES BURNT, LONGEST awards. Royal Parks Half – bring it!
