Gateshead 10K Weekend at Helen and Andrew's

This weekend was my second running of the Gateshead 10K. Due to Helen's pregnancy this was a solo run -- well apart from 3999 others lining up.

At the start with Helen

Due to illness earlier I had not done anything like the training of last year. This run would be to finish without walking. I managed that but was very tired at the end. No spring in my gait this time as I entered the Gateshead Stadium.  During the event weather conditions were good for distance running - slightly cool. The downpour happened as we walked back to the car.

Helen's baby is due in August. She is looking well.

While I was trundling around Gateshead, Andrew and Ethan were caravaning by Captain Cooks Monument. They planned to have a boys weekend biking with Eric but also to test out the new caravan.  Next weekend will be with Helen at a more family friendly site.

Eric keeps the trottle going

Unfortunately due to mechanical problems not much biking was undertaken but the caravan is up and running.
