I dragged myself out on Saturday for my second to last long run prior to the race. 45 minutes in and feeling quite sorry for myself each painful step - and what do I spy....
600 people dressed in full, head-to-toe gorilla suits running in a race.
I ran for the next half an hour, against the tide of gorillas - carrying bananas, making gorilla sounds, wearing bikinis on top of their suits, and my favorite, carrying a Welsh flag.
I was laughing hysterically, and a wee bit frightened because of a childhood fear of people wearing masks. It turned my run around - and I finished still smiling. We'll definitely do this next year.
