Congratulations, EG! It must be very hard to be on the wagon so many days and managing to lose weight at the same time. I haven't lost any kilos yet. I've still got some discomfort with my right calf, so I haven't been able to do much sport.
It's fantastic that M is keen on coming next year as well.
Best of luck with your training for the 9 K next year. It's going to be a fantiastic duel with SP.
