She says... raising a virtual toast to the mystical healing powers of the sports massage... quite how anything so painful can do so much good is beyond me: but it works! so who are we to question. Really happy to see it sorted PB

I do know what you mean: the best thing about my taper for London was that it co-incided with 3 weeks of jury service, so while that was ****dy hard (as it meant I was doing the day job in the evening after a full day in), Court proceedings didn't actually start until 10am so there was plenty of time for early morning shorter length runs.
