This is a massive challenge for me and lots of colleagues and friends at work asked if I was raising money, so I thought I would try. 46 miles 2000m of ascent and a cut off of 18 hours: the Spine Sprint 🏃‍♀️ Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS FT justgiving.com/page/rebecca-b…

This time tomorrow hopefully I will be roughly half way through the Spine Sprint, my longest race to date at 46 miles. I am so excited to be a dot to watch for the first time! live.opentracking.co.uk/sss2023/

Just time for a quick chai latte before I start! All kit checks passed and ready to go! Surprisingly excited to take on this monster challenge!

What a day! Hard physically and mentally. But 45 miles 7000ft ascent in 12 hours 12 mins. Really was tough & sheer determination kept m going. So proud of 12th woman (out of 39) and 32nd overall!

A quick straw poll of my 24 most local acute trusts; 23 had male medical directors from their websites. This is the data showing power imbalance & leads to blind spots! Change needs female representation at top levels of organisational leadership with active removal of barriers.

Agree, but a quick straw poll of my 24 most local acute trusts; 23 had male medical directors from their websites. Change needs female representation at top levels of leadership with active removal of barriers. Curiosity as to why this imbalance exists in the data is important

Lovely weekend and another long hilly race! Slowly getting quicker and better at pacing myself. Loving the views and chatting with other runners. Great to have 4 hours to myself! Maybe a bit extreme to get some me time!
