Morning all!
6.6 just now which I’ll take after the pizza and ice cream last night.
Knee is easier but more exceptionally stiff than painful.
Apart from meeting up with @Grannylorraine yesterday what sums up my whole experience is this photo:

At about mile 11 this chap was sitting on the kerb so I asked if he was ok. He asked if he could run with me and of course I said yes.
We did the remainder together just talking c**p and laughing and him telling me about his 11 year old boy who’s recently been diagnosed with Tourette’s. We did it with a mix of walking and running and ended with a sprint together across the finish line whilst laughing.
The whole experience was so friendly and supportive it was such a boost to a sense of well-being it was remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend doing it next year!
Just after the finish line my knee went haywire and I could barely stand let alone walk and strangers were stopping to ask if I was ok. Some runners even gave me their shoulder to lean on as they supported me to the steps down from Whitehall and into St James’ Park.
Ooh and the cab home comped the fare as he had run the half a couple of years back and was T2!
I’d do it again.
