But wasp tasters do not give up so easy. Divided we stand. And so, in that spirit, as many of us as could came together to Run a Distance (Less Than a Marathon, More Than 5km). As many as could was, in this case, two. Kate and I ran the Glasgow Women's 10k on Sunday 13 May. The weather was horrible. I got a stitch at 3km that never quite went away, acid indigestion just in time for the hill at 7km and had to stop to start retching as soon as I'd made it over the finish line. At so many stages I found myself thinking 'I could really do with a wee walk right now' but I kept at it and finished in a better time that I would have ever imagined at 54m10s. And even better is the knowledge that I have done it, I have scored it off the list, and I need never do it again.
I do have some photos on my phone, but they're kind of stuck on there until I can work out a way to de-cake the inner workings of my handset. In the meantime, there is a website. It is called marathon-photos.com and it is evil. Observe.
