"Just to let you all know, both Kathryn and I completed the 10k Run For All.
We ran most of the way together, although I couldn't resist the sprint finish and finished slightly in front of her in 5,578th position in a time of 73 minutes 30 seconds. It would have been much faster of course if there hadn't been so many people in the way slowing me down! I was slightly outside the medals this time, but as there were 11,000 entrants, very nearly half of them were still behind me when I finished!
So thanks for your support! I'm not sure what the final total is, but it's not far away from the £300 target Kathryn set herself."

"In 2007 I ran the Great North Run for the 5th time, raising money for MacMillan Cancer Relief. It was my slowest time yet (2:25:46) but by far the most enjoyable run. I raised about £600 for a great cause, and gave myself the perfect excuse to load up on carbs for weeks before and afterwards! I run because I love it and it has helped me through some difficult times, but it is an added incentive to be raising funds for a charity that has supported people who are dear to me. I am really grateful to people like Yvonne who dig deep without my having to nag them ... the thought of all that support keeps me going when I'm struggling with blisters and sunburn and a challenging hill at the 11 mile mark!"
