Lol i do running every Wednesday afternoon out of choice. We go about 7 miles every week and i can't even run any further, last week i started walking at about 6 miles so i'm kinda c**p :lol: . I think i'm better at about 3000m. Never timed myself though. Last summer i did 1500m in 5 mins 57 seconds. Being 6 foot 2 is amazing :cheer:! I'd like to do a proper race, maybe half marathon someday, at the moment i just do the annual dovedale dash, which i doubt anyone would have heard of but its like... next door.

 

And good luck to all of you. :P

Might have found a follow up in November :kink:

 

I think the running bug is here to stay :heehee:

Soooooo how did the Great North Run go?

I finished :yahoo: :yahoo:

 

was a good run - fantastic weather and atmosphere.

was slower than last time but I am getting older ;)

 

Is truely an event and felt good to be part of something SO big - is the world's biggest half marathon

 

... and I came 33,023rd out of 52,000 - not too shoddy ;)

 

I shook hands with rebecca Adlington and Tani Grey Thompson!!! a touch of inspiration

Congratulations :w00t: :cheer:

Well done :cheer:

I've just entered the general ballot for the GNR 2009 :w00t: Fingers crossed I get in. I'll be rather bummed if I don't :lol: It's been my aim since last January :lol:

 

Best work out my training plan (now the horrible winter is over hopefully) at work tomorrow :D

i've properly taken up running now to attempt to shift the freshers weight and reclaim some fitness.

 

I'm doing not to bad, 25/30minutes just about every day.

 

It's quite surreal today i was running in slushy snow and a bitter gale, yet in 2weeks i'm going to be running on a sun kissed beach :wub:

I'm back into training on Monday :cheer:

 

And a little update - I'm in the Great North Run :cheer: Just hope I can 'run' all the way :lol:

 

And I have my first proper race/run at the end of March in Boro. A nice little 5k to get my Great North prep underway.

Going there on the day, only an hour away (usually :lol:)

 

Then hopefully not airlifted home :lol:

Completed the 5K today. Seemed to be my easiest 5K so far. Did it in 31 minutes something :lol: Forgot my darned runner's watch, and I crossed the line on 32:16 for my gun time.

 

Just need the results up online so I can get my chip time. I know it was at least 1 minute until I crossed the starting line. :D The txt I received with my "official result" was completely off though :lol: It said 32:28 :/
