Immigration

After 9 hours on a flight clearing my inbox my knees swollen with DVT’s on top of DVT’s I hobbled to immigration. Whereupon I stood in line for over an hour, the immigration official asked me how I was, not as good as yesterday I replied. I had him. Why? He enquired. Well because yesterday, I replied with a grin, I’d run more than half of a half marathon in the time it’s taken me to move less than 100 yards here! He did not look impressed, OOOOPS I thought, my nether regions are beginning to recover and I’m going the right way to receive the rubber glove. Some quick banter and a few laughs later a got away with it.

I’m typing this stood at a bar in the airport waiting for my connection, I could sit but it’s more comfortable to stand..

Sir Ranulf Fiennes might have been able run 7 marathons in 7 days aged 60 and following a heart by pass but I’m thinking running one marathon is looking daunting enough.
