You must be very very happy about knowing you will be running in the Great North Run in September, very chuffed indeed Chris. 😊 πŸƒ. Roll on Sunday 8 September.

Yay Chris, you will have to wear something outlandish so we can spot you on the πŸ“Ί. Mmm maybe not, go for an easier option. That’s an HM isn’t it? πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

Congratulations Chris, me too! I applied on a whim, not expecting to get in. I’m chuffed too, but wonder if my wife might be a bit less chuffed...

Well done Colin, what time are you hoping for?

I’ve got my first half this Sunday, so not sure what my race pace over HM is yet! I’m about 1h55m in training, but early September could be very warm.

I’m an exile from the North East so I’ve always had an eye on doing the GNR but really didn’t expect to get in first time of asking! I think it might have been your post that tipped me off about the ballot, so cheers for that.

No problem, you are running at a very good pace there as well.

Cheers Chris. I think I'm more built for shorter distances than stamina, but I'm trying to rectify that. I'd like to get a full marathon done before my next significant birthday! :-) Maybe next year.

I was going to do the 5k on the Saturday but forgot and have booked a holiday. Gutted. Will now do it next year.

The Saturday is a great day out on the quay side.
