Merci, everyone at Chapelle de Villard - not that you'll read this, but you know anyway. Merci, mums in the park. Thank you, my parents-in-law.

Thank you to my amazing, wonderful Switzergent, for the support, the patience, the plasters...even though I hate you for running it in 1hr 45. (You're fit.) Thank you God for a body that works, a nice day, a good crowd and wonderful generosity from so many people. Thank you from everyone involved in the Medair Congo programme.

That was a bit like the Oscar's wasn't it?

Consider the running story officially over - normal service resumes from now.

(I might just post that happy dance just for the heck of it.)
