Congrats to everyone who took part in the GNR, respect and kudos to you all :-) xx

While watching the build up on TV yesterday they played a poem by Kate Fox, the GNR poet in residence, called "You Don't Look Like a Runner!" Not tech savvy enough to post a link, but type it in Google and check it out, I think it will resonate with a lot of us here on HU.

Yes I heard that and thought it was very fitting.

I too thought the same when I heard it. It was a great poem and rather fitting indeed.

I thought it was great, I had a look on the get inspired website to see if I could find a link but then I had to go out. It would be great if someone could find a link.

I would like to echo those congratulations! What a fantastic event (watched it on TV) I also saw the clip of the poem, they played it this morning too. Very moving.
