First: I came Second! I never came second in anything before. And with a fully operational knee I probably would have had a change to come first. How crazy is that!?

End of August I will run a marathon in London again. It’s not the big one of course (which is always in April), but an alternative one, that starts by the Olympic Park and ends outside London in Hertford. And I want…
