I’ve learned recently that quite a lot of people that I know have attempted the Great North Run – some of which i’ve never thought of as sporty in any way.

Most have said its not worth it, but others have said it was an amazing acheivement. I think i’d be in the later group if I ever do it.

So whats the best way to get fitter for such an event? Maybe go for smaller runs during the year to build up to it, honestly – I don’t know… I wonder if I can find someone to run with – cos on my own its just not really motivating.

I will continue to try different things, like dance, and of course trampolining… Great fun even thou I don’t seem to be getting any better.
