Made it - a really fun run with 15,000 inspiring fellow runners and great support too.
Thank you so much to everyone who kindly donated money to a good cause.
My mother died 30 years ago after a long and difficult illness. I'm running the Oxford Half this October in her memory and to raise money for Occtopus, the Oxford Colon Cancer Trust.
They do good work, and any donations would be gratefully received.

No idea if this is a good sign or not, but I pinged awake at five this morning full of ideas about what I might say.
If you're in or can get to Birmingham on 9 November, come along and learn the secrets of happiness!
