Confirmed my Great North Run entry yesterday so now I have my reference number, so I am good to go for the 20th September it will be my second GNR and am really looking forward to it. No chance of a pb but the atmosphere is simply amazing.
The local paper ‘the Chad’ had an article about the forthcoming Mansfield half marathon (28/06/09) in which it announced that one of Asia’s top marathon runners would be taking part. Serod Batochir who came 25th in last year’s Olympic marathon will be competing at Mansfield as part of his preparations for the World Championships. This is one of the great things about running here I am a 41 year old bloke who has been running for just over a year competing against an Olympic athlete obviously no chance of beating him but I can say I ran against an Olympian.
The title of this post is a reference to Lloyd Cole my all time favourite singer/song writer who’s music I was chilling out to last night, brilliant though I do prefer something a bit angrier to listen to when training!
cheers
