Just found i have been successful in the Great North Run ballot

Never run this before.

Feel quite excited.Sept/Oct are going to be big months. This news has give me the kick up the backside i need. Not done mch running since Xmas due to work commitments. Will pop out this afternoon for a few miles.

Llanelli 10 mile on Sunday. Not going to be to fast but looking forward.

I'm in a similar position to you Elli and Other Half.

Did 4.46 in Edinburgh in 2009, followed by 4.24 in Dublin in 2011 and 4.20 in London in 2012

At the moment i would take a sub 5 but who knows with a bit of training.......it could be a sub 6

Hotel booked. Persuaded a couple of mates to enter as well. Should be fun

Starting to feel nervous already.

Right I'm in Lord knows what i'm thinking but i'm going to give it a good go. At least i know what i'm going to be doing over the next 10 months

Anyone got any recommendations on where to stay on 25 and 26 October?

Many thanks

p.s. put me down to finish. I may up that to 4.59.59 in a few months.

Thanks very much. Nervous at the thought of entering let alone running the thing
