Just to echo everybody else....fantastic event, really well organised, great goodies (loving the magic gloves!) and we were blessed with good weather.  Superb race for me and a massive PB.  Thank you, Fylde Coast Running, looking forward to one of your 10ks in a few weeks' time.

Ah well, can't blame me for trying

Cmon now Kirsty ...... are you sure. A little birdy told me that apparently you went to the dessert counter at lunch ...... not sure if that double chocolate gateux is part of your training regime.

I wonder if David behaves the way he does because he is so frustrated about his inability to ever satisfy a woman?

I can highly recommend the accomodation that Newcastle university provide.  I stayed  at the Castle Leazes dorms last year.  Very basic but excellent value for money. Think it was about £35 and that included a pasta party the night before and a very hearty breakfast on race day.  Only ten minutes' walk to the start and pretty easy to get the metro back.  Trying to drive out of South SHields is a nightmare and best avoided.  The camping idea above is also a good idea but it just depends on how badly you want a good nights' sleep before race day! 

+1 for the Foo Fighters.

Also love to run to anything by We Are Scientists.  Excellent music for tempo runs

To be honest, I often prefer running without music.  But sometimes it just gives that extra boost when motivation is lacking slightly.
