One of them appears to be a decent pole vaulter too…

Well, it’s tomorrow. Starting in the heart of Geordieland, starting on the central motorway in Newcastle Upon Tyne; 50,000 people will run 13 miles from the City centre to South Shields.

For me, this is where the training starts for the 2008 half marathon. I made the goal at the start of the year that I will complete the GNR 2008 and I’ve already enlisted a few of my work colleagues to join me.

If the sound of it tickles your fancy then by all means let me know about it by clicking here and registering your interest at the forums.

I suppose it’s best to be in it from the start, then you’ll have some input into which charity we’ll support and have all the encouragement and support you’ll need to complete the pre-race conditioning.

The only plan I have at the minute for the training is to complete the 10K Great Edinburgh Run in May 2008. I’ve just registered for it while writing this post! (I will now officially be getting drunk in Edinburgh afterwards)

Get planning to do something worthwhile next year! You won’t regret it!
