A very sobering prospect for both of us.</span></div> <div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: #1c1c1c;">Bob says &ndash; I know for some superfit people this is a Sunday jog, but for me this is a real challenge and I&rsquo;m determined to jog/run the whole course.</span></div> <div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: #1c1c1c;">Liz says &ndash; although I am only walking, I am sure some of those 10m stretches will feel a lot longer.
