Great North Run 2009

On the 20th September 2009 I travelled up to Newcastle to complete my first Great North Run. It was a very sunny September day and the amount of people running was absolutely unbelieveable – never have so many lycra clad Paula Radcliffe wanabes converged in one space! (Well if they have I certainly wasn’t there!)

The atmosphere was amazing, the crowds were brilliant (a big thank you to the young girl at 11 miles handing out ice pops!) and 13.1 miles of pavement pounding later I crossed the finish line in a time of 1 hour 40 minutes and 47 seconds – finishing a respectable 190th in the ladies section (and beating Gordon Ramsey!) I must say a special thank you to the rest of the Energy Cell team for their support esepcially to Dave for recording it for me – next year maybe we can have a few more Energy Cell team members on the start line with me??

Watch this space!
