The Great North Run

[sponge]

I really enjoyed yesterday to be honest. Ended up doing 14 .4 miles from all the zig-zagging and stuff. Looking forward to next year tho when it’s back to normal.

Didn’t seem to be as many at the finish in “the toon” as what there usually is at Shields.

The Coast Road and the Leas is a more open expanse of ground contrary to what Brendan Forster said.

Bit baffled why they changed it.

So you can do 15 miles due to the zig-zagging and crowds?

Don’t know what you mean.

So Newcastle can claim it as their own. Just like they always wanted. GNR. Great Newcastle run.

What’s up with that ?

The price is ridiculous, especially when the entry fee is the same again or thereabouts for the actual run.

People will pay it though.

I don’t think it is, it’s frustrating as fuck applying and not getting in meaning you have to wait another year just to apply. I’ve done it 8 times now but about 6 of those times I applied, didn’t get a number then luckily got one leading up to the day. I want to do it 10 times so I’ll almost certainly pay this to guarantee the next 2yrs then the 3rd year I’ll just give it to my brother or something. Don’t think it’s unreasonable at all to be honest.
