It was the Great North Run yesterday and I thought I'd let you all know how I got on on.
First off, thanks to those that sponsored me, I managed to raise over my target of £300, so I'm very happy about that. The RNLI had about 450 runners, and they expect to raise around £150,000, so a really very successful day from their perspective.
The weather was almost perfect, nice and cool, and not too bright, with a little splash of rain just as I was finishing; couldn't have planned it better really. The race was brilliant, a really amazing atmosphere. 54,000 runners, plus several hundred thousand spectators, and supporters - just fantastic.
I came in at 1:47 - a little longer than my PB, but as Jo keeps reminding me I was on crutches 6 weeks ago so that's my excuse
