Great North Run!
We did it! After several months of ridiculously early mornings in training, we both completed the Great North Run in the fantastic city of Newcastle on October the 5th 2008.
Our times were both Personal Bests and well under the 2 hour mark.
It was a great day, and as fun as running 13.1 miles could ever possibly be... Next stop - London Marathon!
Our times were:
Andrew Hunt: 01:39:01
Matthew Skelton: 01:50:07
Jodie's Hippos have got two new (land based!) recruits, as Matthew Skelton and myself (Andrew Hunt) will be participating in the BUPA Great North Run 2008 with all sponsorship proceeds going to the Samantha Dickson Trust.
The run takes place in Newcastle on Sunday the 5th of October, and is the world's biggest Half Marathon (in terms of participants). At 13.1 miles long and with more runners participating than there are people in the entire country of Tobago, it should prove quite a challenge for both of us.
