I thought I'd share this with you; my last pm from Daz:

I'm glad your well. Hang in there Stef. Yes I'm okay. Training very hard as well as working hard as well. Been doing 12 hr training weeks and lots of races which I always do. At this level there really isn't much time for anything else, but I always wanted to say to myself that the day I have to finish running and racing the fells that I gave it my all. Done over 250 fell races now and won a good few things along the way. You keep well, see you soon Stef x Give my regards to Andrew

He has finished early but he did give it his all. What an inspiration.
