Great North Run 2013

I ran the GNR in 2:08:01 yesterday. Over 4 minutes quicker than last year and in pretty poor weather conditions with the wind and the rain bothering me and 50,000 others on the way.

I felt good, I could have finished quicker but made the tactical error of leaving it too late to surge on and got caught behind slower runners who had obviously lied on their race entry form about how quick they would finish the run. The finish was as chaotic as ever but getting on the Bus home was a bit better than last year.

It's the Berlin Marathon in two week's time and its looking like a sub 5 hour finish now.
