Foot seems to be fixed, I am planning a B2B this weekend and long next weekend then taper time. Can’t believe it’s here already. Steph is definitely an inspiration doing that run on her own is incredible. I hope she’s recovered well DT & you were a great support crew too.

Tried merrells both feet put up with them. Last long run today (22.5) I wore the merrells I can get an extra insole in the left foot, and I taped both feet. It helped. So merrells & tape it is a I know my right foot prefers vibrams. It was a crap run, sorting out foot issues, hair issues, weather issues, and ran out of water (my route was not easily accessible to shops like I thought it might be) Ended off back at the town centre to see a young woman (20’s) under a bus quite literally I can only presume the bus was turning right and she was on a bike/walking and he hadn’t seen her it knocked me for 6. So I’m hoping that is the awful stuff out the way and race day will click into place.

geordiegirl Jun 2021 9:01pm, 16 Jun 2021 14,926 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl I don’t know rhb she appears meld conscious as I went past. As I don’t live in the area we were just there for the weekend I haven’t heard anything. I do hope so. And the driver regardless of fault I expect he / she would be very shaken.
