Hi Doggiedo, it's commendable that you had such high aims. I'm thinking of doing some running for charity as well next year.

Try not to beat yourself up about not being there. If you feel, you can physically not do it, it's a sensible thing to pull out. You don't want to be a wreck or in hospital afterwards. Sometimes we think we can do things but we aim too high. Recognition of this is not failure, but wisdom. You have learned something about yourself and this can only be a good thing.

I hope you're otherwise okay, Doggiedo. I haven't seen you around much recently, but I have usually only been online for quite short periods of time over the last couple of weeks.
