Here's me and Toonlou24 running the Roy Castle Easter 5K virtually together

We graduated around the same time, all those years ago, not sure but I think it's 7...both diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time, we lost touch for a bit, but got back in contact through this group.

We've recently discovered a mutual love of virtual races, and both signed up to run 5K for this one, but we were having so much fun we ran on - I ran 9K, Toony reached 10...

For this we will get a medal that includes a Cadbury's Creme Egg, what more could you ask for? A lovely pink run, great company and chocolate!

Well done to both of you Curlygurly2 and Toonlou24 , both for your runs and your glorious pinkness! As for the Cadbury's Creme Egg, I am envious beyond measure, and that is despite having pigged most of a Lindt bunny since yesterday.
