Last night I excitedly packed 2kg of Jelly Babies into small bags. Now that’s not a normal Saturday night but it is Great North Run eve tradition in my house.

Despite the rain, Debbie and I secured a spot near the 7 mile marker and planted the Good Gym flag ready to cheer on the runners.

The atmosphere on the route is always amazing and the wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd or runners.

We clapped. cheered and through in the odd Oggy, Oggy, Oggy for good measure.

Lucy joined us in time to hand out the bags of Jelly Babies to very thankful runners.

There was plenty of Good Gym love on the course.

Unfortunately, despite walking the route Melanie ended up a few meters up the road from our spot. Sorry we didn’t get to see you!
