The Great South Run

The Great South Run is heading our way. Yikes!

Nothing but ads for it all over the place. Think I’ve a couple of million emails from the organisers asking if I want in.

Do I?

It’s 10 miles, less than a half marathon, more than a 10k.

It’s in my home town. I can cycle or walk to the start and hobble home via my favourite coffee place.

Spectators hand out sweets to the runners. I’m using this to get my kids to do it – free sweets. It’s like Halloween without the costumes.

It goes through the Dockyard where you usually need security clearance to get in.

It’s a few weeks away – time enough to train.

And yet …… maybe not.

A crazy number of people run it, making it super crowded especially at the start.

I don’t eat sweets any more.

It’s 10 miles.

Are you running it? Have you run it? Would you run it again?

I’d love to know your thoughts
