    Good on him Val!, the last time I ran 10K was when I was being chassed by the rozzers, it's suprissing how far adrenalin will take you!. Joking apart I use to love running with Murphy our old dog, the little bugger use to run rings around me, all history now, I can only run in my dreams.

    I think that's two achievements for him, Val - both the fun run and getting his weight down to start off with. And if he's as nice a person as his Mum, that's something else for you to be justly proud of.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
