azziriaI see that entries are now closed for the Great North Run - good thing I got my entry in early. (Good thing? I must be mad...)
13.1 miles still sounds a very long way to me. Currently I can do 5. Over one third of the distance, I suppose. A good base to build on.
I'm wondering now which charity to run for. Being sponsored for charity will give me that extra bit of push to keep going, especially during training. I'm leaning towards running for Macmillan, because the work their cancer nurses do with cancer sufferers is so needed. And with my father dying of cancer, and my friend who probably won't live to see next Christmas with her children, it seems a good thing to do something cancer-related. But I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any good ideas.
