Sorry about that Ardross, thought it was my comp playing up as it normally does! I now know what happens when error message appears! 
dvd - well done. This is my 5th run. Only been eligible since 2001, so still a newbie, but love it!

I was going to do it this year, but I decided that I am nowhere near fit enough (and my Dad is an even worse state), so we'll probably do it next year.
Good luck though!

I've never done the great north run, but I have done 13 half marathons, the last one in 1990.
I would love to be able to do another one but I'm now 48 now, and about 8 stone over my ideal racing weight, so I've probably run my last race.

I hope all went well, Sue. B)
I almost did the Windsor half marathon, which I think was last weekend, but I hadn't done enough training - honest Ted, I will think about it again next year. I understand Richard Dunwoody was participating in the Great North Run yesterday for a spinal charity he supports.

Hi All.
Thanks for the wishes. Not my best ever run, but I still loved it and made it to South Shields. Was my 6th half marathon, coupled with 2 full marathons and countless other smaller, but just as important events. My time was 3rd fastest over this C&D - 3hr 13mins 56secs (very important) and finish position of 34998, out of 50,000. Next stop, Paris Marathon April 2007. Bring it on!!
