    "Ran" (maybe better to say that I finished it) a trail 50k yesterday, organisers ran out of water which was less than ideal in 35 degrees, 90% humidity. My only consolation was that I didn't think I got any blisters on my feet - turns out I was wrong, I have (or had) them on my soles and heels... past tense because my cat just attacked my feet and now I don't have as many blisters.

    If anyone would like a cat, please let me know.

    I had something similar with my big toe a couple of years ago, I can't remember exactly what the eventual diagnosis was but I do remember having an ultrasound on my foot and saying "doc, is my foot pregnant??" and the doctor being extremely unimpressed.
    I'll try to dig through old emails and stuff to find out what it was.

    I did a vertical marathon (stupid name - basically running up 62 flights of stairs) the other day. I thought it was only 31 flights until about half an hour before, which was a nice surprise. My only goals were a) beat my friend and b) don't trip up the steps. Managed both, ate an ice cream at the top of the building and somehow I was the 10th fastest woman (I guess not a very competitive field, but 10 out of a couple of hundred is ok).

    Anyway, lesson learnt to check how long any race is!! And never agree to run up stairs again.

    Yep, I lived in china so have worn a bunch of chinese stuff - I quite like li-ning shoes! I also love some of their garish tracksuits.

    Ha - I hadn't thought about it rattling loose and falling out. Now I will think about that a lot.

    Bit late sorry - I also had a mid-life crisis moment (on new year's eve lol) and got the top of my ear pierced. Haven't noticed anything unusual about running, except that I've nearly caught it when wrestling myself out of sweaty clothes afterwards.

    I hadn't seen Aram in a few years (him being in Cornwall and me being in Asia) but I know it would have been like no time had passed if (I thought it was when!!) we next saw each other. Part of my London family, Aram was kind, funny and grumpy and the best pony of the west. Sending so much love to Jenne and Eladio xxx

    The one on my inside thigh is sort of sideways on, but more right for me than for anyone looking at it. The one on my shin is the other way round.
