    Congrats on the PB! Amazing result! I pb'd at Chester mara last week and was given a hug by one of the finish line helpers. I was just having a little cry in the corner when he came over to check I was OK, then offered a hug. On the subject of finish line helpers, watching the Chicago marathon finish line, I saw that the finish line helpers were called "Team Code" which was a bit brutal I thought.
    Re your knee, my (amateur) money is on a bursitis. I think if you'd ruptured your meniscus, you'd have problems with stiffness and locking. Do get it checked though. Loved your joy at your pb at the end there. There's nothing like it is there!

    Early bird tickets went on sale this morning. email came in at 08:00, checked at 08:40. All sold out. looks like they are releasing in dribs and drabs. probably easier to get a Glasto ticket than a running entry these days.
