Ruddy eck, I'm exhausted just reading that lot! Well done Moger! Not bad for a bloke who was having hip surgery not so many months back.

"Elite runner" !!!!!! Blimey. I bet that made you proud. Quite right too.

10 miles? :-O I'm nowhere near that! You will have to run it TWICE - once for me!

I often run down by Tescos too, I love that route! Not sure how to get to Grantchester, must look it up..
