Well, well. Marathon number 13 didn't have a happy ending. I knew that it'll be a tough ask to run with the bruised leg and a dodgy hamstring. I started feeling pain after an hour which then got progressively worse. At the half-way point I felt the way I usually feel at 22 miles. I knew then that I am unlikely to last and pulled out half an hour later. A bit of a depressing feeling, but better than causing any long-term damage, I guess.
