Sorry about all that red text up there. Must have been too much crappy Virgin cola.

HARD CORE!!! Throwing up in the bushes is WAY more badass than running till your feet fall off any day. And with a half marathon in your legs from 2 weeks ago, I don’t think you should feel bad about not finishing. This was a completely different realm of endurance, and I think you aced it. Puking means A for effort. You were ALMOST there, and had there been someone standing behind you with a gun and someone standing ahead of you with a Stella I’m sure you could have made it. As there was no gun-toting cheerleader there, I think you made the right decision.

I love the bit about sliding up banisters too, by the way.

“I will run until my feet don’t run anymore” – good one and got to be more motivational than your previous Archers obsession!

How about some suggestions from the readers for some new uploads?

I’d go with brucey babys Born to run or Clash Should I stay or should I go now and what about Kanye West “that which don’t kill me can only make me stronger” steer clear of “we have all the time in the world – Louis Armstrong or James – sit down!

Full marks for trying, Angela. Lesson learned, and move on.

As for running through Central London – I’m with you on that one. Still gutted about the FLM. Worse still, it’ll be a Virgin LM before I get my hands on an entry. Even though I’m in no way prepared.

Capuccino and cake failed as pre-race nutrition for me in one Great South Run – that’s a ten mile race, by the way, and having kept the Caffe Nero fodder down for 9.97 miles, I didn’t quite bring it home.

Sorry to hear about your DNF. You gave it a good shot though. If I would have had to keep leaping over poodles’ leads I would have found it really frustrating as well.

Well done on getting so far round! That farmer’s market thing sounds good, but not at the start, that’s just cruel.

You were there, you perservered and then you allowed your brain to make the decision. Which means you’ll be back for another run!!!

Wish i’d heard about it and had the chance for a go. Shame about the DNF. Maybe Jogblog’s running strategy (little training, alcohol, late nights) is the way to go after her result. I’ll give it a try in April. Maybe.
