(Nearly) the end of a four-year ultramarathon

I've just submitted my PhD thesis this afternoon. The viva is still to come.
As suggested by the title of this blog, life sometimes is an ultramarathon, and the last four years certainly were. Just like at the Hardmoors, it all started very gently, looking around at the countryside, enjoying the sunset, without much pressure. Then the night came and I needed to keep more focused. I still progressed well, but I lost the path a few times, although I think I've never been too far off. There were times when I thought about giving up, and there were amazing moments. And there was the final push, feeling painfully slow, when I thought I saw the finish line so many times before I actually stepped across it.
Thanks to you all of you who pushed me towards the finish line.
Hopefully, I should now resume to more frequent blog entries... and training!
