[Solved] Great North Run 2010

Hey Mr T

Good luck with the run - remember to pack your Deep Heat!!

Keep us up to date with the training!

Mario

Well, it's only 11 days away now.

Training's going ok, not great mind. 6 miles today and Friday, then 10 miles Saturday and 7 on Sunday.

Really looking forward to it, Look out for Superman!! (well one of them anyway....)

Kudos DMT - how long are you aiming to do it in ?

I can't imagine running (or even walking) this sort of distance, so I have a lot of respect for those who do. 🙂

Personally, though, I prefer my method of going somewhere quickly dressed as superman 😆

Ha ha! Love that avatar!!!!

Thanks Gooner, I hope to do it in 2 hours, but my training's been a bit pants this year.

I did the London marathon this year and trained so much that it lost it's appeal when I'd finished, so I've been slack.

just been for a 7 mile run though and managed it in less than an hour.......just got to do that twice (almost!)

Great Charity,

Kudos to you DMT 🙂

Have you got a fund raising page on Just Giving or similar to make a donation?

Hi

I will be watching on TV looking for you DMT - Have we missed an opportunity for you to promote Dadtalk!!!

What time are you hoping for?

Thanks chaps!

It was a joint fundraiser with the London Marathon this year and sadly the page has closed so no more donations for this year!!

I managed to raise £3,156 in total which was overwhelming.

Here's my album if anyone's interested!

Super Mario, my costume is all ready for this year, but I may be doing London again next year, and will definitley be doing the GNR again next year too, so I'll gladly stick a dadtalk banner on my cape for those 🙂

£3,156?? WOW!!!!!!!

What a great amount, I know first hand how hard it can be to raise money, I had radio, tv and press coverage when I did a 120 mile skate and didnt raise anywhere near that.

seriously well done, fantastic work mate!

Cheers Danny

The support I got was overwhelming, because it was a charity so close to my heart it was really emotional too.

We had a charity fundraiser at our local rugby club with a band, auction and raffle. My wife did an amazing job as fundraising manager.

Not sure what we'll do next year..........

Same here....been trying to think of something really challenging to do for next year....

looked into swimming the channel but it costs circa £5/6k before you even start!! that one may have to wait a while!

good luck with whatever you do 🙂
