B do this every year - just a bit of fun with my sister. The only time in the year she runs outside!**was reasonably pleased with this - slow start and no warm up plus a loo stop at 4.5 miles.

Getting out of South Shields was easier too - and Deb even got to see me crossing the Tyne Bridge. Will be back next year, but after that who knows?

derooster I was on course for a PB the whole way round, but I did find the course difficult. It was my third GNR and knew what to expect but those long drags on the duel carriageway do take it out of you - not to mention dodging around people most of the way. Still, it's a great day and I might do it again one day. Horsforth Harriers 1:32:18 1:36:52 1:38:00 1:36:52 60.28

froggyfeet Great day but a horrible race for me. Had stomach pains the week before. When running down to the start of the race I had shooting pains up my side. Hit 10k at 52 mins however after that got burning pains in my back and stomach making it hard even to walk. 4 painkillers, 6 first aid stops, 5 ice packs later I stumbled accross the line in double my expected time. Time splits show that it took me 1h 05 mins to get from the 10 to 15k mark!!!I was really disappointed and only finished it for my charity. Stomach pains continued. Now on Thursday I am off work as was vomiting blood in the early hours of yesterday. Am going back to the docs tomorrow after blood tests to find out what is irritating my guts - could be gallstones. Have not eaten for a day and a half and just generally feeling drowsy and done in. What an end to my running year but probably explains my poor performance!The banter and costumes were first class though! Will definately be doing it again next year!

Grey Badger Hoping to get a good start and beat last years time. One of these years i will run well in this one. Number 2483 and i'm running for Marie Curie Cancer Care. !!!!!! Nearly got under 83min but quite pleased as i was ill last night with sickness and headache. At 5 oclock this morning i wasn't going to do it but had raised quite a bit in sponsorship so dragged myself out of bed. Thank goodness i improved a lot before start time and ran ok till the last 2 miles where i ran out of steam a bit. Still 45sec better than last year and 100 places higher, 192nd and 9th V45. Had a wonderful massage afterwards in the Marie Curie hospitality tent. Eased the legs loads. Northumberland Fell Runners 1:22:00 1:22:49 1:22:59 1:23:03 77.77

Managed to weave through the crowds quite well and only walked for about 10 seconds of the whole thing (at top of the john reid rd of course) - then saw Battlecat just ahead so ran in to the finish with her.

Miss Sweden I did it in 1:59:57 last year, and am determined to beat that. If I do that will be 3 consecutive PB's in this race. On the morning didn't think I was even going to manage to hit 2.05 as had v bad belly from night before. Had to dose myself up with immodium. (Nice) Spent most of the night awake coughing, and even pulled a muscle in my back from coughing so hard. Set off on the run, and did the first mile in 8.29 which shocked me and made me think I'd set off far too fast. But when I did the 2nd mile in 8.34 and just felt like I was coasting I thought I'd just stay at roughly that same pace and see what happened. I kept thinking that the next mile would bring disaster, and that my legs would start to seize up but it never happened. In the last mile I realised I might be able to do it in 1.55 so decided to push it then. Legs felt fine at the end and I realise that I could easily have done under 1.55 if I had noticed how good I was actually feeling during the run! (N.B. Pee stop during the 4th mile) Anyway, I was well chuffed with this as I was feeling like crap when I lined up at the start. Whoo hoo! 3rd consecutive PB in the GNR. What next year? 1:50?

Musical Journey My calf strain reared its ugly head within the first mile so the first few miles were spent taking this easy, stopping, stretching the calf and after that I just resigned myself to enjoying the sunshine and soaking in the atmosphere.

First mile - 6.53 which frightened me as I was expecting it to be slow and I was hoping for a time of 1.35-1.40 and this was too quick. Felt ok though - and just kept going at that pace (or faster!) and ended up with 1.29.35. Was really surprised that I was 70th over 40 bloke. Loved the race.

Pllumby Did this in 2006 with the aim of finishing below 2hrs. My official time was... 02:00:01. Dodgy knee in 2007 meant I couldn't seek my revenge so... Unfinished business. (11 week training gap then with 7 weeks to go I have started training again so sub 2 hrs doesn't seem likely) _________________________ Woohoo! Beat 2 hrs and beat my PB. Was in the orange zone this year and found it a lot easier not having to weave through the crowds. Most people around me were running around the same pace so a lot easier. The sun coming out was good for the spectators but made it hard work. Found out I got into the FLM on Friday so all I have to do is turn round and do the same again....

RununMan This race is always great but always harder than i remember. Those little inclines take it out of you and they seem to come at the worst time. Very happy with result (all things considered). just checked the results and i finished Top 100 and 6th V40. Good to see some fetchies at various points - NorthernRunner, Nochickenstrip and thanks for shouts of encouragment from fetchpoint (Lisrun and crew). Birtley AC 1:16:53 1:18:09 1:18:09 78.59

sanddancer Having not run for two years (the last being GNR 2006) and having been injured for even longer than that, my only target was just to get round the course in any time. I probably only ran about 10 - 20% of the race. It's a lot harder than it was two years ago but I've gained nearly three stone in that time. Most pleasing of all, I've had no reaction from my dodgy left ankle since the race finished. I'm hoping I can actually start training again... fingers crossed!

Slowly But Shirley Enjoyed yesterday but was a bit too overcrowded to get into a decent pace (what did I expect?! 52,000 runners!). Congrats to all those who did get PBs, I think that's a stunning achievement on this race! Not my best, not my worst time ... decidedly average for me!! I think I'll blame having just done a marathon 3 weeks ago for my leaden legs after 10k distance (wonder how long I can use that excuse for!). What a terrific atmosphere though ... and I think we had the best weather in the country yesterday!! How lucky were we?!! MK Lakeside Runners 2:03:00 2:03:00 2:12:58 50.73

Stokie Wow - that felt hard! I did it last year but completely forgot about all those hills which just keep on coming, and coming. I felt pretty fine overall but miles 10-12 took it out of me and the last 1.1 mile killed me! However, I've only been running twice a week on average and I still managed to knock 5 minutes of last years time and so got a new PB - get in! Unaffiliated 2:07:05 2:07:05 2:05:00 2:07:05 46.31

Coming back with a MEDAL will make me very happy, coming back with a medal and a decent time will make me happy. WINNING this race will make me HAPPY. Doesn't take a lot to make me happy. See you there x It really is a GREAT RUN , reminded me of the London Marathon , lots of runners and lots of supporters along the route , got tripped up a few times because of so many runners but l was fine and the weather turned out okay too.

Trevor T Stomach pain all the way through (not stitch) followed by very 'unsettled' couple of hours. Also, in a pen too far back and had to work around people for most of race - not ideal. Overall pretty pleases given where I was mid-June when I took up running and weighed 2 stone more that I do now. Plenty of time to come off of this though.

Xan I am cursed I'm sure. With honesty my preperation for the race was not the best, I have been niggled with MTSS until September when I was given the Green light to resume training. I went into the morning with a doubt in my mind regarding the inside of my right calf which just didn't feel right, warmed up and plenty of deep heat. Set off at 8.45 min miles, kept this pace until mile 6 when I felt 'something' in my right calf, I tried to put it out of my mind until mile 7 when it felt like I had been stabbed in the leg, I pulled over and stretched for a minute or so and tried to continue, the pain was managable but only at 10 minute miles, I didn't want to pull out of the race so kept going taking baby steps, managed to make it onto the coast, by this time I knew my sub 2 hr was out of the window, kept going and even managed to speed up a bit and finish in 2 hrs 04 mins, 28 seconds. I'm disappointed but at least I have next year to crack 2 hours, if I can stay injury free. Sorry to those who bet on me, I won't let you down next year !!
