My Entry To The Great North Run 2012 Ballot Was Successful After All!

After the disappointment of finding out I was unsuccessful with the Daily Mail Great North Run ballot, I received this in my inbox today.

I’ve already got my flights booked with FlyBe and I’m really fucking excited for this one. I was starting to lose all motivation with running and the blog until this happened. It’s intense.

Now I will have to plan a few more warm up half marathons just to make sure that I am fully prepared for the race.

I’d love to run this one in under 2 hours. I don’t know how likely that is at this point. As long as I keep improving, then I don’t really care that much about time, but there is still something spectacular about the idea of completing a race as big as the Great North Run in under 2.
