The coffee I am getting through though... <br /><br />"This will end" is my ever-so-inspiring thesis motto. That and "turning coffee and stubbornness into a PhD since 2011". <br /><br />Best of luck with yours!

Maybe my nice long comment will return from internet nirvana, but I'm sure it was deleted by people who want the world to believe that doing a PhD is fun and is not the most awful and terrible thing in its final stages. Hang in there, you won't die, it will finish. That's what I kept telling myself. Oh, and drink plenty of coffee and eat chocolate. "Research is transforming chocolate and coffee into words" (a wise friend of mine who's awesome and a badass scientist) <br /><br />Good luck!

And a great humoristic account, as usual - in the end you did deserve your media slot as you wrote quite an amusing description of the race!<br /><br />Taking breaks from the PhD and, more importantly, "The Thesis" is paramount: I rely on my sculling and my runs to keep me sane :)Manuel Marqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314276135441489638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-83383586822814905122014-11-09T18:44:29.008+00:002014-11-09T18:44:29.008+00:00Hmmm...

I'm trying to start running again as having a job is making me fat and I don't fancy cycling in the dark but have limited my ambitions to a half marathon in March which now feels a bit pathetic. <br /><br />What is your new job? :-) Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059401839895440442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-25193452535138890062014-11-04T12:17:41.479+00:002014-11-04T12:17:41.479+00:00Oh hell yes!

I like that "do not die" appears only 4th on your list of priorities. <br /><br />Coincidentally, given I am terrible at running, have never kayaked and never ridden a bike off road, I am thinking about doing this - www.ratracecoasttocoast.com - next autumn, fancy it?? It's in the highlands which I am pleased to see rank highly on your scenery spectrum! (also my home.) Marthahttp://www.twitter.com/walshyMECnoreply@blogger.com
