Wow, just wow Moger!! That means you have been averaging a marathon distance a week. Incredible! Puts my paltry efforts to shame.

Good luck for next Sunday and let us know how it went. We recent grads look to the C25K alumni for inspiration and 1400 miles is definitely inspiring!

Wow! by my reckoning after graduation you must be averaging around 33 miles a week! That's a lot of hours on your feet. Serious effort there. Well done. And best of luck for your half. I'd be elated with 1.50.
