A quarter of a century ago, cancer sufferer and amputee Terry Fox ran 3339 miles across Canada.

Today in Hyde Park, the British Terry Fox run took place -- and as a fellow amputee it was the one 10k I didn't want to miss.

Terry must have been smiling on me this morning because even though I'm only just getting back into training after the honeymoon I knocked a minute and a half off my 10k PB, which now stands at 52:02.
