I decided to go for it, and apply for the great north run. I can’t do it yet but whats the chance that i’d actually manage to get in. There are limited places and they run a ballot for entries to do it.

At the moment I am not fit enough to do it. I can walk briskly if I want but thats about it – as long as I have a distraction like music or chatting with people I can keep on going.

I have an aim to manage it especially since I’ve never done anything like it but wanted to try for several years.

I’ve not told anyone about it, just wrote here ballot isn’t until after my birthday and if I get through then I will work at it to be ready.
