In short: Great Run = Great Fun
In full: I do like the atmosphere of this race. To be part of an immense group egged on by the fantastic bands and crowds is fantastic. For the third time since I started doing this race I was on the Tyne bridge as the Red Arrows roared past overhead. It makes a real festive atmosphere. This is not a PB race. You will never really find out how fast you can go as you will always find yourself hemmed in and in danger of tripping over someone or a discarded bottle but hey, just go with it and enjoy the ride. Talk to people, brush the hands of strangers and play spot the runners in fancy dress as you cruise along. Enjoy it...
