Jules. Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Well done Cathy. My hubby did the run 4 years ago when I was pregnant with Ethan- I went with him & we stayed in a cool hotel in Jesmond. I was wrecked just walking from there to the start, then battling my way onto the Metro to the finish line at South Shields, which was miles away from the station! Then we had the VERY long journey back- the queue for the Merto at South Shields was soooo long we got the ferry to North Shields & then took the Metro the long way around back to the hotel We enjoyed it, have a great run tomorrow.

Guest Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Go Cathy - I'll be watching on the treadmill at the gym... Not running of course just walking. I couldn't run for a bus. Actually I'm too much of a s"Ooops, word censored!" to run for a bus - I don't do public transport, except if I'm going to London on a weekday. I know what I can run, A BATH! Maybe when I've lost lots of weight I'll actually RUN for the race for life, I usually just walk. and my best time is 1 hour and 2 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 How did you get on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 FINISHED!!!!! in 2 hours 48 minutes 43 Seconds and I have sore feet (think I need some new trainers ) I wore a red tshirt (sorry not the omlet one) and it took me 27 minutes to pas the start line I think running for charity is a wonderful feeling and anyone doing it should realise that they are a superhero (regardless of how long it takes) Pengy, when you want to do the race for life, ill do it with you!!!!
