I thought i’d put a bit more explanation into my running challenge. Here are the races i’ll be doing:

• Robin Hood Half Marathon | Sunday 13th September 2009  |  10:00am
  13.1Miles - Nottingham
• Great North Run | 20 September 2009 | 10:40
• Hell Up North | Sunday 1st November | 11:00am

I’ll be running with my good mate Colin for the Great North Run. But flying solo for the others (well officially but i do know a few people doing it, chances of us running the same pace are far from likely as i’m a SLOW one)

Colin finished the Liverpool Half Marathon in 1hr 40 with me coming in at 2hr 20 so you get a sense of how physically fit he is. He’s a rower, what do you expect? But it’s good to be hanging around with people like that that make you raise your game.

ALSO!…Great North Run is on the telly! So you can tune in on the BBC and watch me absolutely drag myself past crowds of enthusiastic geordies.

Damn, writing all that down doesn’t have make it sound daunting. But in keeping with the no-fear spirit of this malarky. I can confidently say bring it on, bring it on hard!
