Off Topic The Great North Run

Well done Mr & Mrs Marcus and congratulations to Mrs Marcus on her PB

 

I am just back home in Scunny after me and our lass completed it today in 2 hours, was very warm and hard, and sad to see a lot of folk on the coast road getting medical treatment, a couple looked in a bad way, hope it’s not serious.

I am from South Shields and love coming home every year to run this even at 52

 

Well done to both of you

 

At the start

in the middle

At the end

 

Lovely photos, well done to you both.

Nice to see another forum member punching well above his weight

 

is that how he got the broken arm ? sorry Marcus couldn't resist

 

Cheers mate, feeling it now

 

Hell yeah!! And the best thing about it is that she thinks she is!!!

 

Well done mate and your mrs. I’m only 5 years behind you!!

 

I must admit though, it’s starting to take its toll now, I used to run it at a breeze but I really felt that yesterday.

 

I found it easy yesterday but I was running average 5 minutes per mile slower than I normally do. Broken shoulder has massively hampered my speed. Still 6 weeks from the bone healing properly then another 12-15 months of intense physio to get the full range of movement back! Oh to be a footballer with all the physio they get access to!!
