It was exciting, scary and fun. Since then we had our own baby Samuel (1 year old) and hardly had a proper sleep or done any exercises.It's fun but not so exciting.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We've once again <img src="http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w4/pr04/ltr/emo/winking_smile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="19" height="19"> decided to run a Half-Marathon.
