    Great job with the half marathon and the weight loss. You look great. I want to be able to do a half marathon one of these days too. Thanks for posting.

    Full marathon not in immediate plans, have a season of rugby ahead of me, birth of our first child and lots of exciting stuff.

    I had knee surgery 1/7/2011 and prior to this struggled to run 1km (mostly fitness not injury) so it has been a pretty steep curve.

    There is a triathlon next Feb I have my eye on, but I am not a great swimmer and have a bung shoulder... still considering it.
