BUPA Great North Run

I’ve run for charity

Overview

It's time again to update my overview. I have run the last two Great North Runs and for various reasons didn't train properly for either of them. 2010 will see me on the South Shields road again a few months after my 62nd birthday. However this one will be different as I shall be following a structured plan from today 10 November 2009 rather than starting a hit and miss one in March or April. My last two times were 3.17 and 3 26 and this year I am aiming for 2.30ish. Yes that's right, nearly an hour quicker. Just goes to prove that I am still the silly old $od that I have always claimed to be. Matt Hart has kindly taken me under his wing (or the toe of his boot) to help me do this and I shall be giving him my full commitment. In addition I intend to raise sponsorship for Parkinson's Disease Society purely because this is Matt's pet charity this year. So with about 45 weeks to go, my road to Shields starts here. Wish me luck.

That's another one done and I'm enjoying myself. I have to keep going now when I want to stop, and I have to go out when I'm supposed to. Same as yesterday but a little less walking. Bike tomorrow for half an hour so I need to get a pump and some lights in the morning. Have finished the trims around the trailer where needed and done a load of nuts. Almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, and walnuts and some bags of mixed nuts too. Wonder how many I can flog tomorrow. So it's goodnight from this nutty blogger.
