If anyone has any spare change kicking about and fancy putting it to a good cause - I appreciate times are tough anything you can give would be amazing.

Thanks so much everyone for your donations.

What really hit home about Mike was that he was only 34 years old - my age.

Thanks for your support

I mentioned it on the BBC blog. Someone replied that they had tried to donate but the Just Giving site was down, and it was down when I tried (both your link & Paul's). You might want to let them know if it keeps crashing.

Currently the messages have all been removed from the blog, don't know if they will re-appear. Mine may be removed permanently because it contained a link (against the rules) hopefully someone will use a bit of common sense.

Guys - prob the last time i'm gonna get online to say thanks before the big day on Sun - so thanks so much for the messages of support and donations - total so far stands at £390 - add on the gift aid stuff then it takes up to £490 give or take a couple of quid - only a tenner short of my target.

So, a very big

THANK YOU!

Good luck from a fellow runner! Another £10 added to your site too, a very worthy cause.

by **matty** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:27 pm

Wow, just like to say thanks to absolutely everyone who sponsored me/sent good luck messages etc,

completed the run in 1hr 54mins 55 secs, apologies - not the 1hr 30 I strived for - have a few excuses up my sleeve that i'll bore people with after a beer or two!!

Total raised was nearer the £600 mark after all the gift aid added in on top which more than makes up for my own personal disappointment.

Thanks again - you guys are brilliant.

by **morecambe mick** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:31 pm

I know you like a challenge Matty.

Well done, I'd have struggled to do that time on a bike!!!

I saw today the remnants of a Marathon more local, one the is reputed to be tougher.

Want the details?

I was going for 1hr 30 too, all my training and recent races suggested that I was more than capable. I ended up doing it 7 minutes slower than my last training run! I think the crowds and the heat in the middle of the course didn't help. I finished in 1hr 52.

I'm doing the Lancaster Half in November, that should be cooler, flatter and have a lot less participants! there's still places if you fancy it?

by **marky** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:18 pm

The contours of Tyneside take a lot of people by surprise. It's not an easy route by any means. Well done to both of you because it wasn't exactly cool yesterday
