Running Kind
Unfortunately, I won’t be participating in this years Great North Run. However two friends of mine, will be running for worthy charities in the coming weeks, so I would just like to add a few words of support, and perhaps even help them gain extra sponsorship in the process.

Great Manchester Run 2006
Last weekend I completed the 4th Great Manchester Run. Unlike last year, I didn’t manage to run the full distance. Running is very much a battle of wits, and having stopped midway for a quick toilet break, having made that stop once made it easier to convince myself that I could stop again during the later stages of the race.

2006 Charity Running Programme
As summer fast approaches, it’s time to kick of the fund raising efforts for the two charity running events I’ve signed up for this year. 2006 is a little different from previous years in that I won’t be running the Great North Run. Hopefully running at a number of smaller events instead, will still give me the opportunity to raise lots of money for charity!

My Greatest Run (Part 2)
On Tuesday I wrote about my personal achievement at this years Great North Run which was celebrating it’s 25th anniversary year. Unfortunately, with the death of 4 runners (many more than on previous occasions) as well as some organisational annoyances, I couldn’t help but feel that the celebration had been a little soured.

My Greatest Run (Part 1)
Now that the aches and pains that follow a 13.1 mile run are slowly starting to disappear, time to tell you all about the 25th Great North Run. This year’s anniversary event saw a capacity entrance of 50,000 runners, yet this, coupled with the hot weather brought a number of problems during the day that sadly included the death of 4 men.
