It's almost upon me.

Set the stage. The mist pours over the hills and down the dales. Breath from the mouth of a man billows against the back drop of the rising light. It's here at last. The grand finally to the end of 9 hard and gruesome weeks. People have dropped by the wayside. (My wife) with only a cry as the tall figure of a man pushes on. Yes tomorrow will see the pain barrier pushed to the limits, sweat pouring from the brow. Steam mixing with the wisping air of the day. They may take our lives but they can't take our freedom of Wk 9 run 3 completion. The time is here, the runner is ready, the winning line is 30 minutes within his grasp. Don't miss this forum as Jase graduates the C25K 😎

My Mum had that very literal turn of mind - she giggled when anyone mentioned the "bread-man" or the "coal-man" - and as for the "cod-war"!!
