33.6 kms . . . Suzie, please do tell us about that run!!!
That sounds like a real tester. Good luck - I'm sure the cold made a huge difference. I get really down when I run with a cold, but I'm always amazed (and relieved) at how much better I feel on the next outing (once the cold has gone). I'm sure that'll be true for you, too.
We'll have a few glasses raised to absent friends; you and Niguel will be sorely missed. I'll get SP to wolf down a seafood platter for you too
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
