Today was not my finest day. What was supposed to be the pinnacle of my London Marathon training: 20 miles, turned into 15 miles plus a 5 mile stagger.
I’m finding this marathon thing harder than I ever imagined I would. As the wonderful and wise Jody Day – who has just done a TED talk in Hull on childless women (high five Jody!) – once said to me about my challenges: if you don’t make it, just think of it as an AFOG.
‘What’s that?’ I asked.
‘Another fucking opportunity for growth!’ she said.
We laughed. A lot.
Today I’m wondering when I get to stop growing.
Meanwhile, thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far. If you haven’t, you’ve got 21 days to go! I’d be so grateful as Fertility Network UK needs your support, and right now, goodness knows, I need your solidarity.
Here’s a picture of my tired feet.

Enough. Bed. I’m going to try not to cry.
