Well done, both of you. It's always nice to hear how after c25k people carry on to discover new impossible dreams like this. (And, of course, make them possible, show that there's hope, etc)

Yep. Lucky enough to have been visiting the east coast of Canada with very little access to Internet. Only managed a couple of sessions on a treadmill plus plenty of walks, but back out for a run in Ully this morning!

Amazed and pleased to see that Dozzer has been posting- but I know I am about to be totally mystified again!

You doing okay?
