I just broke 2000km of running since i started c25k in Aug 2014, 2000km is a long way or if your more old school that's 1242 miles.

Above is a circle to all the places i could have run to in those two years from my home in Kent. I was kinda hoping I could at least make it to Canada.

You didn't get to Canada but could have been in Italy which is a very nice alternative ;)

well done and keep going you'll be over the pond to Canada sooner that you think :)
