Good luck to all runners who are running this weekend:
Colin, Carol and Joanne are all running the GNR in Newcastle- everyone look out for their red vests on tv!!
Gary (and I think Chris) are taking part in the Langdale Marathon and half respectively. The langdale marathon is the hardest road marathon in the world- but Gary will have some comfort as all monies raised go to Willowbrook Hospice.
Can't wait to hear everyones stories next week- and don't forget our curry night on the Wednesday
