I went running on wednesday ...well for a short while before i fell over and bashed my head against a metal part of a bridge...not very good. Then today i went for the great north run 5 K and ran it using the run walk method which worked just great..got a new pb and felt great after the race even though it was rainy still felt good. Its really improving my confidence too. I also think that there is room to improve further and improve my time further.Good luck everyone with the Great north run hm tomorrow!
