Why would anyone in the right mind run from Newcastle to South Shields when there is a metro train every 15 mins?

aye I know what you mean, I'm under no illusion it'll be hard to achieve, but my training last year was pretty lack lustre, so I reckon with a better crack at the training its possible, I'm still realtively young anarl btw

bloody good time that in 1997, noticed in the echo they had the top ten times from Sunderland for last year and I'm sure 10th was around that time

missed out. will just have to cut back on the training for a while until the london marathon entry form arrives
