I am seeing the NHS physio today for my weird back problem (I have actually now got a suspicion I did something to it folding up the big pop-up parkrun sign on Saturday, then irritated it on the long coach journeys and standing, twisting and clapping on Sunday; I'd much rather it came from something rather than out of nowhere) and I'm pleased I'll be able to show him he helped get my broken finger back into operation!<br /><br />Those stairs look terrifying and the woman in the race sounds like me in my first proper trail race. Lovely to make a new friend and a nurse as well. Strong and kind and fit - great things to be!Liz Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896796668856635371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-88831887089505237312022-10-09T15:10:47.129-05:002022-10-09T15:10:47.129-05:00Great week!

Absolutely, you can get back to that 7:40 of two years ago.
