Running For Fun by klebe

Time for a new intro.

I started running in March 2006 when I got a place at the Great North Run. I'd never blogged before but my blog 'Running4amy' began. Finished the 2006 GNR saying never again!

Never again never happened and the blog became RunningwithAmy as Amy started recovering and we trained for and ran GNR 2007.

By now I was getting addicted to the pain of  running and crossing the finishing line in South Shields, so the blog continues towards the 2008 Great North Run

It's been quite an emotional rollercoaster getting this far but now it's time to Run for fun.

Just to keep things interesting I've had one failed attempt to get into the London marathon (2008)  and now I'm waiting to hear whether I'll be successful in the 2009 ballot. I really hope so - this old body of mine can't wait for ever and my feet are eagerly awaiting the day when the trainers get swopped for tartan slippers and a chair by the fireside!!

Blogging over the past couple of years has been a brilliant source of inspiration, support, friendship and fun. Here's to more of the same.
