Two Tunnels 'Hilly' Half Marathon, Bath | A lesson in running stressed!

This was a fab event with amazing views! I, however, pushed an already very stressed body a huge amount during this race.
I went ahead with this event (against the advice of my husband) because a few years ago I went through a breakdown due to putting everything into work and having nothing left for me, and I wasn't prepared to sacrifice something I love again.
But in reality, my body was working super hard just getting me through a day, so this event was tough.
I had a mile walk into the centre of Bath when I finished and I cried nearly the whole way there. I was totally broken and exhausted. It felt 100 times worse than completing the 30 mile ultra a few weeks before.

But...
I did it. I learned a lot. Onwards and upwards...
