Just to let you lovely people know, I have just had an email to say that the ballot for the Great North Run has opened and it closes on 9 February. And no, I am not applying. Good luck.

O I just thought for a second that you were going to run the GNR, but no, I like you wish everyone that does apply the best of luck. 😊

No, the Great South Run was long enough for me Al.

Thanks for that SlowLoris but I think I will be coming back to the Forest in September- loved it last year.

I responded on 6th January. Fingers crossed; whether that’s for getting a place or not getting one I am not too sure !!😬
