Great North Run
Well done YP, that's not a bad time at all for the GNR, with all that congestion and jostling. I watched it on TV over a leisurely breakfast, which seemed like a better way to enjoy the race...

As you know, I have a few grumbles about the logistics, but I have to admit it's a great event. The sight of those 40-odd thousand people winding through Newcastle is pretty amazing. I'm sure it will have inspired a few people to de-couch and get running. Not that I'm one to preach at the moment. I've had a bad week or two, but all will be well again within a few days.

Incidentally, what distance did your Forerunner log for the race?
