David
Staff Memorial Fell Race by Ross, Adam, Neil and Nathan
Too dizzy to talk. Lungs and heart fit to burst. Wouldn't be too surprised if they already had to be quite honest. Legs insisting that they should, by rights, be detached from the body. It's cold. It's wet. We've just paid £3 a head to run up a big hill in the middle of December.

The
Great North Run in memory of David Staff by Gillian Haddow
Saturday 21st. October - the eve of the Great North Run 2000. I was sitting in a B & B somewhere to the west of Durham City, and feeling extra-ordinarily nervous. I can honestly say that the three leaves of lettuce and a single cherry tomato that I had consumed earlier weren't going to help me get through thirteen miles the following day." |

Great North Run
by Marje Scott
In February 2000, around Mike’s 21st Birthday I decided that I wanted to do something for him, something ‘big’, something I had never attempted before. I decided to compete in the Great North Run.
Training started at the end of May, very slowly at first, which was just as well, as I had never run since leaving school - too many years
before..... |

Running
Around London in a CRY Heart by Caroline Gard
As we approached Blackheath at 7.00 a.m. last Sunday, the morning of my third London Marathon, I found myself wondering "Why?" Not only was I about to put myself through all that agony again, but this time I had agreed to do it in a large red heart. Friends had said I must be mad and now I was beginning to believe them!
