Day 4 of 12in12.
It was the most difficult marathon ever, lots of little issues and a body that didn't want to cooperate with the heart and mind. But thankfully with great company on the way I got it done.
Humbled and loving this experience.

3 questions I get asked about doing 12 marathons in 12 days

1. WHY?
Because 12 days of being in discomfort and pain but I know it will be over. So many young girls don't have this luxury of stopping their pain and suffering when they are taken and turned into prostitution and as child brides, away from everything they know and love.
So please sponsor and share this post.

2. HOW?
Being ready and prepared ( as much as I can be).
With great support around me and a great team who helped me get to this point.

3. WHEN?
From Thursday for the next 12 days. It will be
RUN, EAT, SLEEP, REPEAT!!!

⚠️ A Friendly Warning: Don’t Be That Person Who Goes Running After General Anesthetic (aka ME)
Let me offer you this gentle, slightly sweaty cautionary tale so you don’t end up starring in your own wobbly slow‑motion drama.

The Run That Should Not Have Happened

Picture this: you’ve had general anesthetic recently, but you’re feeling OK-ish.
“Why not go for your usual parkrun?”
Lovely idea… in theory.

Kilometer 1:
You’re trotting along, but everything feels about 20% heavier — including your soul.

Kilometer 3:
Your head has decided to file a complaint with management.
Your vision is trying out the “soft focus 90s music video” look.
But sure — keep going, champion.

Kilometer 4:
You no longer remember Kilometer 4.
It has left the chat.

By the end:
Your body is burning, your head is splitting, and your eyesight looks like a bad Instagram filter called “Spotted Crisis.”

The Moral of the Story

General anesthetic likes to cling to your system for up to 72 hours, and your brain + cardiovascular system are basically running Windows 95 during that time.
So pushing yourself into a run?
Not brave.
Not hardcore.
Just spectacularly STUPID — and apparently also a great way to experience selective amnesia and surprise dizziness.

The Friendly Advice Bit

If you’ve had general anesthetic recently:

Don’t run. Don’t jog. Don’t power‑walk like you’re late for a flight.

Walk casually at most. Preferably toward a couch.

Hydrate. Rest. Let your body finish rebooting.

Wait a few days before trying to set a personal best for “least medically advisable activity.”

Consider this your public‑service announcement from someone who learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
PS thanks to Helen ( Mum) and Ally for keeping me upright somewhere at the end

It's 2026 and my challenge this year is to complete 20 marathons.
