I know very little about Caroline Flack. But I know enough to spot that there is an awful lot of hypocrisy and self-justifying rewriting of views and events going on all over twitter tonight.

We should always celebrate our little wins. We should celebrate ourselves every day. It’s the 10yr anniversary of my M.E. diagnosis. Ten of us sat in the clinic the afternoon I was given my diagnosis, so statistically 3 of us have taken our own lives,… ift.tt/2BiplOQ

#MedalMonday a virtual race no longer appeals to me, but a virtual challenge (set mileage over a period of weeks) does. Cartoony medals? Ugh. But even Dots wants @the_conqueror_challenges medal! Arrived faster from NZ than most in the UK too. . . .#londo… ift.tt/33sDoNO
A not-so-steady dog run. Guess which one of us had to sniff everything and which one broke my little purple light. It's good to get outside and clear some cobwebs. #WorldMentalHealthDay . .#londonmarathon #run #mentalhealthmatters #marathontraining #imov… ift.tt/324TWLt

It's now less than 3wks. I'm nursing a respiratory infection, my neck has been in spasm for over a week, and I missed my last long run. I'm feeling a bit unsocial and want to stay home. But it will be OK. Whatever happens, whatever my time, I will finish… ift.tt/2Q4Dl9b

#sundayrunday 13 miles, 31°c! Really, who does that?! My heart rate was ridiculous, again, and I guess I'm listening to my doctors going forward - no more autumn marathons with summer training! . . . #Berlin42 #lonelygoatrc #BerlinMarathon #BerlinLegend … ift.tt/2NzC0UP

#sundayrunday only 8 miles today of the planned 13, it was too hot! The watch wouldn't register my heart rate, and those damned midges thought I was a buffet table! . . . #Berlin42 #lonelygoatrc #BerlinMarathon #BerlinLegend #run #mentalhealthmatters #m… ift.tt/2KlzApG
