Great North Run

Last week I started running again after a 3-month layoff. After far too much Winter excess and far too little self discipline the most I can manage now is about 5-7k (very slow, and on a good day) and I can't do that without stopping. My asthma is bad and my feet hurt. I'm in crap shape.

So I've gone and entered the ballot for the Great North Run in September. If I'm lucky to get a place it'll be a good testing ground for running amongst a massive field of competitors, something I'll need before I do the London Marathon next year.

Oh bggr. I'd forgotten about that.
