00:00I actually wanted to do the Cardiff half marathon, but I've got to have surgery on my knees, so I couldn't, but I've done 5Ks, 10Ks, I recently did the Bristol Muddy Run, so yeah, going from nothing, and you put yourself out there in the world.
00:17I think planning-wise and time-wise, it probably wouldn't be something I could do at the moment, because of children, but if I had the time, I think I'd definitely go for it, I think it'd be a good thing, obviously if you're running for a great cause and all that, 100% go for it, I can imagine being really rewarding, I would go for it, yeah, if I could, I would.
00:39Not necessarily a marathon, myself, I want to get back more into fitness, but I don't know, I feel at this day and age people are just quite lazy, I thought, me personally, I couldn't be bothered to do a marathon, I thought it would be good, but I couldn't.
00:54I'd want to do a marathon, yeah, it's just something, even for charity or something, and to get fitter, obviously, as well, yeah, yeah.
