    Good stuff Kab. I especially like knowing that you have done this from being much less fit.

    What an inspiration.

    Thanks DG.

    A bit of race scandal...

    The baggage collection point before the race was a scene of chaos. I and most others just dumped the bag near the collection point.

    This did not augur well for post race.

    So...race finished, and I'm in a queue for bags with seemingly no end, and no movement.

    After an hour of me shivering DW kindly took over and I walked back to her car with DS.

    She finally got my bag TWO HOURS after we had started queueing!!!

    15,000 runners relying on the endeavours of volunteers from a local school! Like that's going to work out.

    I feel really sorry for those who were worse for wear at the end of the race, and had no choice but to queue for hours for a bag before a long drive home.

    Well done Kab!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    It was a bit blowy - but not from a direction where I was terribly aware of it if I stayed indoors. It's the winds from the South that seem to be the most 'frightening'

    O&H, that's how I found out about my friend in Norfolk dying, through Facebook.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
