Mummy and Auntie Jen ran the Great North Run today! 13.1 miles! It was so exciting - we headed to Newcastle on the Metro to the start line where we watched all the runners (all 56,000 of them!) gather along the Central Motorway ready for the off. We had a great view, and it was fascinating to see all the runners bobbing along the road, especially when looking down from the bridge. Even more fascinating were the runners in fancy dress! We saw all sorts of characters, including superheroes and even a man carrying a fridge on his back!
After a few minutes we got the bus to South Shields to the finish line where we waited for our proud runners in the Mind charity tent. We enjoyed some snacks & drinks with Jen, Gary, Amy and Grandad, and had a great time sitting in the sun and watching the Red Arrows fly past doing their aerobatics! We were all shattered by the end of the day, especially mummy! So proud of her today.
