To help keep me motivated I signed up for the Bupa Great North 5km, I am so excited as I know that the running I have done to date will really help me to succeed. I don't really care about a time, I'm just really looking forward to taking part. Who knows if I can continue to improve with this running malarkey I may enter the Great North Run next year? Wish me luck guys :-)

I'm sure you'll do just fine, you'll get a buzz off the race and just want to keep going!

I'm doing this run too! I can't wait!

I'm hoping to high five Mo on our way past!

Good luck, it sounds like it's gonna be a great turn out!
