Great North Run

Fancy Andy Burnham having the stamina to run a marathon. Brave of him too with all the inevitable publicity around it.

Did start a thread about this this afternoon I’ll say it again feel so proud of being a Geordie today especially with Andy Burnham being an ambassador today. Well done.

I agree. I hope the charity does well.

Just saw Andy Burnham is taking part for a homeless charity.

I am impressed rafichagran. All the the best to your partner and all the other runners.

Good luck to your partner, and everyone else! X

One of my Great-Nephews is running this year. One of my step-grandsons ran it last year. A marathon is a wonderful achievement if you’re not a semi-professional runner but a “seasoned” amateur. DD has two under her belt and a long string of halves (which, I am told, become a walk in the park once you’ve run a marathon). SiL ran the Paris marathon but hasn’t felt the call to do another.
I wish everyone the very best of luck today.

Wonderful! Good luck to your partner and all the runners 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Good luck to your partner and all the other runners, especially if they’re running for a charity. The weather in North Lancashire is fine and mild but grey, probably the right sort of weather for a run.
