Hey Tracey, nice to have you join us on the Challenge! I know the feeling with the EB - I've just got back on mine after nearly five weeks off because of a knee injury :( Don't worry about the distance, you want to ease yourself back into - try to do too much and you will just lose motivation (and hurt!).

Well, today I managed 6.1k on my EB, followed that up with 15 mins 'Workout for dummies' on my (poor) abs. I went for a walk for about an hour. Then this afternoon I did some gardening and had my customary gardening hypo, dropping to 2.3 😱
 
Another 5 miles!
 
Only two from me today, partly due to the sore feet and partly due to the fact that I was WORKING! *:D Lots of running around tomorrow so I expect to do at least twice that.

* Although not yet being paid for it.

In a 'virtual' sense I do. I still have a lot of pain in my feet and walking long distances is incredibly painful. The difference at the moment is I don't care! Once the euphoria wears off that may change.
 
3 runs totalling 10 miles. Knee problem so won't be running for a little while

Ack! Sorry to hear about the knee injury Richard - just got over one myself that's put me out for over a month :( Hope it just needs a few days rest.

Wow! Sounds fantastic! 🙂

I have managed another 6.1k on the EB today and done the 15min abs workout. Will probably do some gardening before the rain starts.

We are heading West from Newcastle, as I think we should visit the lovely Lake District - will post destinations later! 🙂
 
morning off, 3 mile run yesterday evening. may do another tonight have to wait and see.🙂

1km= 5/8 of a mile (near enough)

To change km to miles:

no. of miles = no. of km ? 5 ? 8

so 5?15 km = 5?15 ? 5 ? 8

= 3?2 miles

So the answer to your question is no, it's not near 1/2 mile, it is well over that. 😉
