Oh.
I've been, I would say, generally very lucky with, um, running injuries.
I haven't really had very many.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and generally I can just kind of stop for a week, and then they all sort of fix themselves and go away.

No. How's your training going? Better than mine, I think.
[chuckles]
Um, I wouldn't say I've specifically trained for it, but I'm, I'm, I'm still running, so that's something.
I haven't really done any long runs.
We've just had two weeks away in France, um, so my husband and I did a fair bit of holiday running, but just shorter distances.
Really nice way-
