Blaydon Race
I am doing this on 9th June for the 2nd time, even managed to get 4 work collegues to enter.
Just wondered how many other forumites will be taking part.

You're right Minni, I'd like to line up at the start without the bin bag this year
I am coming down from Penicuik (near Edinburgh) with five mates including fellow forumite Gusher - now we are five!!
Did it last year & enjoyed the day out. It's going to be a bit rushed this year as we are getting the train back home after the race though I suppose that's a good incentive for a PB.
What are everbody's numbers, mine is 4833. With three or four thousand runners I don't suppose we'll see each other during the race but might bump into each other at the end (queing up for tripe & onions - not!!!). Hoping to do it in around 45 mins.

Interesting that there is only supposed to be 4000 runners, but they obviously have numbers upto 5000
Morpeth was way too early for me to tackle a half however two of my mates did do it.
Graham, an experienced marathonner used it as part of his training for the Paris Marathon and said that it was a great run despite the weather - it must of worked as he got a PB of 3.45.
Bill (non-marathonner), who is more like me, on the other hand found it tough going. Did you take part - if so how did you get on.

The Blaydon Race is always good fun.
Minni, I think you were on the sub 3:45 thread with me for that.
We seem to be following each other around these races.
I've done the Morpeth for the last 7 or 8 years I think, the memory isn't what it was, and managed 1:32 this year.
Also did London, in a PB of 3:14, hooray. It's amazing what a difference doing some training makes. I did Amsterdam last year in 3:54 and i never want to go through that sort of experience again.
It's nice to be doing some fun things like Blaydon again though.
I see from your picture that you are also one of us London marathoners as well
4th Blaydon for me. Trouble is I am a slow starter and it's Blaydon by the time I get going....
(Don't forget your tripe at the end!)
See ya aal there I'll be wearing 1206 and our lad is 70 - give him a bit o' praise - cos am gonna beat 'im to Blaydon!!!
