12,057 people were faster than me. However, they still cannot take away the fact that I managed to beat my time from last year =). I finished my second Great North Run on 1h 58min 48sek.
My aim was to finish on or around 1h 45min. That obviously did not happen. I also learn that running becomes so much more unpleasant when you try to achieve a certain time. Next year I will have a more structured training and just do it for fun - and then the result hopefully will come by itself (is that English?).
Congratulations to all the charities which raised money. I pray it will all be used wisely to help people in need.
Tomorrow is a dissertation seminar. I am still slightly confused.
And Governor Sarah Palin does not play a fair game. Interesting to see whether the Senators Obama/Biden can stay focused when the Republican election winning machine gets going.
Obama/Biden are better for business according to the latest issue of the Economist. Get it if you are interested in American politics. Special feature in this issue.
I also pray that British Airways will change their short haul sandwich menu. Pretty tiring getting the same grub on intra-European flights as on UK domestic. Their new ad is class though.
Today Simon has:
Listened to the choir at Newcastle Cathedral.
Read about Apple's next move.
Noticed that he will try to run 'just for fun' next year.

Congrats for finishing this year as well! I've got some pleasant reading for you coming week(if you like)...It's an abstract to a very well-written and important essay about child rearing=).
Som svensk, så säger jag att man får skriva sådär ;)
Själv så lyckades jag ju med bedriften att gå på eld nå'n vecka innan Luleå stadsmara nu senast, så jag inte kunde springa den. Då är 1.58 bra mycket bättre.
