10th January

The password today is 'Tyne' again, looks like it will be the same every day.

Same again today, looks like you're right.

Presumably you still have to pay the extortionate entry fee though, for the pleasure of running the dual carriageways of Newcastle?

What's the entry fee?

The Times ballto was excellent - I heard about it on some other forum....

It means I've already got a place - I just wish my other half had entered (she had computer problems)...

The cost for GNR is a tasty.... 36 pounds.

You can defer if you get injured but you'll have to pay next year's fee too...

I think it includes a medal and a tshirt? Hopefully this year it will include enough water too...

Also accomodation for this race can be quite pricey... and I'l have to drive 5 hours home after it.

Still - I'm quite excited to be racing it once.
