The Bath Half is off
Humph.
I got 3/4 of the way through the 10km race, then pain. So I stopped. I was sensible, I was incredibly frustrated, I vented my spleen, and I cried rather a lot.
Walking home was OK, though – nothing like the pain of last weekend, so it’s definitely healing. Just not quickly enough to be able to safely run a half marathon 4 weeks today. So I shan’t. I shall do one later in the year.
I have officially cancelled my entry, I’ve entered the ballot for the Royal Parks Half, I’ll sign up for run to the beat, and I will be back.
Now I’ve finished being stroppy, and apologised to those who got caught up in said strop.
In the meantime, I’m on the sofa with a blanket, an hwb and I’m considering a second cup of tea. It was mighty cold out there.

Oh no! That’s a bummer. But there will be other races and there is always next year. Your health is more important and better to take time to heal now and the right way than to prolong the pain and turn it into something chronic.
