Today was Great North Run day. I finished in 2:20:45 a big improvement on last year and next year I will be coming in under 2:20. The extra training paid off. Now to keep it going through the Winter.
I enjoyed the run which is not something I can say every year but this time I could feel I had done enough preparation. The crowds were as big as ever .This year many more people seemed to be walking especially up John Reid Road
I actually saw some people I knew as well- James and Jess- normally I never see anyone I know. The weather was OK but as I crossed the finish instead of the Red arrows it was a cloud burst and I got soaked. Journey back on the Bus was good though and I was home with a cup of tea by half past two.
Roll on next year.
