The Great North Heroes

It was a struggle to get up at 9.30am on Sunday morning let alone do anything else so full marks to everyone competing in the Great North Run - especially those running for charity.

I competed in the 2005 High Wycombe half marathon so I kind of knew how people were feeling post-race. I'm proud of my 2 hours 18 minutes time on what I think was the 3rd hottest day of 2005. And as some of you may know, Wycombe is full of hills!

I said to myself I'd never do a marathon when slumped on the couch the afternoon after that race. I stand by that statement. But I'd love to be fit enough to do a half marathon again!
