Chocathon run day

Another Sunday, another run.
Chocathon at Betteshanger country park in Deal on the Kent coast.
Was very wet and very very muddy! Unfortunately that combined, resulted in a nasty slip early on lap 4 and a twisted knee which got more painful as I limped around.
At the end of the lap the only sensible thing was to call it a day.
Fortunately with timed challenge events you only need 1 lap to be a finisher, but you can carry on for as long as you want in the time limit. So I was a finisher, got my medal and my goody bag. But I had to 'settle' for 18 miles when the plan (and the hope) was for a full marathon.
What a difference a year makes; a year ago 18 miles would have delighted me and been a bit of an ask, but these days I push myself to do and expect so much more!
Still, a good run out, training miles in the bag and tomorrow is another day......
