Can anyone recommend a good place to park on Sunday?
Was thinking of coming down the 1231 and parking at Southwick or thereabouts

St Marys car park is open if you come through the town.
Last time I drove through the town I timed it wrong and the council lads were shutting the roads off. I went into starsky and hutch mode, dodged through the cones and parked near Thd bus station. The council lads face were a picture
Hence why this time heading down 1231 to save embarrassment again

We're coming from Chester Road so I'm hoping that new bit of road isn't closed!
Not to impressed with early weather reports for Sunday

There was a bitterly cold wind off the sea two years ago when I did it. I came out the park and a massive gust of wind hit me and nearly knocked me over! I was ready to pack in then, but a female marshal started screaming at me and said I had to keep going, so I did

What are folks targets for Sunday then? Just to finish, or get certain times?
I'm doing the 10k and at my current pace should be under 50 mins, if i take it up a slight notch I can hopefully break 45. Would be chuffed to bits with that!

well im not looking forward to sunday now, my 2 little boys have been a nightmare for the last week, 1 is teething and up all night therefore so am I and the eldest has now got in the habbit of waking up in the middle of the night and not very quietly, im feking knackered to be honest right now, just went out 2 do 2 mile at race pace 6.26 to see how I felt, managed the 2 in 6.15 pace but feel absolutely hammered, no chance in doing that for 6 mile on sunday unless I get a few nights sleep. If im feeling done in im just going to enjoy it and bugger racing it.

My 10k PB before I was poorly was 1:10. I've only been back running for six weeks and I'm not in remission yet but I'm three stone lighter, so if I can get near 1:10, I'll be pleased!
Final run in the bank before Sunday done. Nice 3.5 miles just to keep the legs ticking over

We must have crossed line together. Mine was 1:42.08 last year
Im just gonna park at the SoL metro and cut up the back lane
Going to head down the 1231 and take it from there.
On a different note the weather forecast is getting worse as the week goes on ffs
That was the first one I did and the wind as you turned by the Queen Vic was horrendous.There was a bitterly cold wind off the sea two years ago when I did it. I came out the park and a massive gust of wind hit me and nearly knocked me over! I was ready to pack in then, but a female marshal started screaming at me and said I had to keep going, so I did
Rain and cold is fine, wind is shit. I'll still be out cheering everybody on.
Disappointed to be missing out but I should be back on the road soon. In hospital today and I appear to be fixed although still don't know what caused it.
Gateshead 10k in July is new target.
