You can go off people you know...only joking! That's awesome. You're going at quite a lick if you're matching 'John, I'm only dancing'! I don't know if that made me laugh more than the bit where you said "I've just done my 5k run..." like it was a really throw away comment! A true runner now! :-)

Amazing time Do you think your time is improving because you are more relaxed now you are a graduate?
