Running a Marathon ...

[Bluemoon dan]

Yeah I'm down for Great Norh West Half in Blackpool next month.

I did that one a couple of years ago. I remember setting off and feeling like I was absolutely flying, I was well up on my target time and feeling confident. After about 5 miles you do a 180 degree turn to head back down the front. And at that point the tailwind that I had unknowingly been benefitting from became a head wind........

Entered the great north run ballot more in hope than expectation of getting a place.

Got email today, saying I've got a place. Can't wait now.
