Congrats to the Great North Runners!
Just another JG shout out to congratulate everyone who managed to finish the gruelling Great North Run yesterday.
It was especially exciting to see some JG celeb fundraisers on TV, along with everyone else slogging across the Tyne.
There was Carol Vorderman (and friends)- she was resplendant in a bright orange jacket and aviator glasses, walking the route in a tribute to her friend, the late Countdown presenter Richard Whiteley.
Then I clocked BBC News' own Sophie Raworth, who looked to be on form. She wound up having a great time - 2 hours and 16 minutes!
And finally, it was great to see our fundraiser of the month, Findlay Young, bashed and bruised and with stitches in his forehead, but still on track to finish his 'Great World Run'. What a trouper!
Well done to ALL of you out there!
