    Do you know - it is a nice morning, I think I will go for a run.

    Saw your message on facebook P. Thanks so much. I have posted a reply there

    Ahem, your green light's still on ;) I'm not sure if I ever thanked you for all the good advice and support when I was training for the Moonwalk, can't remember if you were around when I did it - but I did finish it! Was thinking a lot about you guys on here when I was out there in the middle of the night.. so thankyou :)

    If it's ok I'll track you down on Facebook later? (you can even see the err lovely photos of Moonwalk night on there - for some reason I looked a bit rough at 4am after 13 miles... :eek: )

    It's a strange thought that by the time I do these, since I'm aiming for the marathon at the end of May, a half marathon should be relatively, dare I say it.. easy :eek:
