      I used to forget taking spares with me regularly. A couple of punctures in couple of days cured my amnesia.

      Welcome back with a great paced run.
      I'm considering another marathon and think I've whittled it down to Chester, Amsterdam or possibly Liverpool.

      WWWWOW Jonny!!! I can tell you that I am SO CLEAR about how this feels and I am in AWE of your FIGHT! This is what makes a Marathon Man! You could do this distance in your sleep. You have amazing speed. One day all those factors will come together. But today.... today you went out there and faced so many demons - the elements, the body's pain and you FOUGHT back. You gave as good as you got. YOU did it!!! And you did it 30 minutes quicker than i did when I had optimal conditions and a co-operative body!
