We had no major mishaps.....a bit of pre run nerves and a quick wee in the back of the berlingo, and Chris was off with the best of them...As you can see the weather was not kind, but he managed the 10 km distance in a very respectable 1 hour 1 minute.
449 looked knackered before he started.
ReplyDeleteSo was I.....I had to have a coffee and a cheese puff to keep my strength up
Deletehuzzah for chris! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a guy. What a loyal spotter. Well done all around.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteyou ran with ease and elegance and we were proud to cheer you on,well done
with love Tim and Ann xx
Well done, a very respectable time and in such miserable weather conditions too.
ReplyDeleteSue xx
Bravo Chris ....... and in that awful weather too.
ReplyDeleteOur daughter did the Great North Run ......I'd rather eat my own liver with a rusty spoon !!!! XXXX
I couldn't put it better. Myself
DeleteGreat job Chris...next time..take a cab.
ReplyDeleteWell done Chris ! how are the nipples ? hot bath and a decent glass of wine for you mwah xxxx proud of you !
ReplyDeleteWell done to Chris... I'm impressed (as I lay on the sofa eating a biscuit).
ReplyDeleteA coconut macaroon by any chance!?
DeleteWay to go, Chris!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must be exhausted after all that picture taking. Hope Chris appreciated your physical effort and tucked you in with a book and a restorative toddy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl.....the supportive role is very exhausing
DeleteYay for Chris. However, now the Berlingo has dog snot and urine in it. I'm not cleaning that up. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't either mike
DeleteI am so impressed! I didn't know that Chris was so athletic. It's so admirable, but now I must get back to my couch. Wouldn't want to strain a muscle or anything.
ReplyDeleteYes...he's like a jungle cat
DeleteHear him roar!
DeleteIt's piddling down!! Extra points for running in that.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Good for Chris--I admire anyone that takes on such a challenge!! I think that the next marathon he enters, YOU should enter too John!!
ReplyDeleteBugger that kim
DeleteGood man! Both of you.
ReplyDeleteWell done Chris, and it in all that rain too. It's been shovelling stair rods here all day.
ReplyDeleteIt was all I could do to get 50 yards across Tesco's car park in all that weather today.
ReplyDeleteHat off to Chris.
How many cheese puffs?
Well it was obviously worth all the effort you put in
ReplyDeleteYeah Chris! Way to go and humma chucka!!! (that's a 'north end thing!!!)
ReplyDeleteWell done to C. He's clearly been bitten by the bug so get him to see today as a mere stepping stone - just a bit of training, if you will - for the biggie. Yes, the LONDON MARATHON, beckons!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a supremo effort, and Chris did well too!
ReplyDeleteLlandudno on a wet day is bad enough without having to run as well. Bravo for Chris!
ReplyDeleteWell done Chris !
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought he was just another pretty face :)
~Jo
That is a fantastic accomplishment. I was recently in Llandudno. Rather strange time, I had a police car behind me from Llandudno to Cardigan, a distance of some thirty miles.
ReplyDeletePeace and all the best

Better than beating down sun!
ReplyDeleteWell done to Chris! What an achievement!!!! Love the pics....could almost feel the anticipation at the start line! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca
DeleteChris was touched by your good wishes x
Chris looks totally unfazed by his 10 kilometres. In fact he looks as if he could happily do another 10 kilometres without batting an eyelid.

ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteCompleted a 1/2 marathon in December.
Next time, John, walk the 10km! It's really not that far!
Well done Chris. I expect you feel very proud of him, and rightly so.
ReplyDeletewell done Chris, rather him than me, I would have been "Watching" from the warmth of a cafe with a hot cup if coffee in front of me.
ReplyDeleteGill
Well done Chris, especially in that weather!
ReplyDeleteRight, that's the warm up tell him - come and join us for the Sydney half in May?!
ReplyDeleteGood for him! Good for you, too... he's quite the cutie.
ReplyDeleteCheers to Chris!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good to hear....I didn't know he was a runner....keep it up for good health!
ReplyDeleteYay Chris! And good job, support crew.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Chris!
ReplyDeleteNice to find your blog! This looks like Seattle and makes me want to go for a run in the rain....off I go!
ReplyDeleteAnd did you have to run alongside him, to take the photos?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chris! By the way, last night I watched an episode of a series on French tv called "Vues du ciel" (views from the air). In this edition we got to fly over northern Wales. We saw Prestatyn (at which point I said to Ken: That's very close to Trelawnyd, where John Gray lives). Then we saw Llandudno, which shows up on your blog this very morning. Lots of nifty castles up there, too.
ReplyDeleteBloggers from all over the world were cheering for Chris !
ReplyDeleteAmazingly he doesn't look the slightest bit puffed !
ReplyDelete10km!! That must be almost 100 yards!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Chris, fantastic acheivement - and I bet he was neater weeing in the Berlingo than some of your other passengers!
ReplyDeleteThat Berlingo sees some bad stuff John. Congratulations to Chris for what followed!
ReplyDelete10kms....fantastic. I get tired just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah, Chris! And huzzah, you, John, for being there to photograph the event.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing job, Chris! I'm very impressed. I ran a 5k last year and that was enough for me!
