16 miles of hell summed into a few photos

I went on a run yesterday, the longest one to date, on my 8 week mission to a marathon and thought I would display the sheer agony of parts of the run via photo (was a bit tricky!)

Getting my game face on....

16 miles requires a few essentials...

The first hill (Matthew Bank)...

Nice long stretch along Great North Road...

Running with the cows in town moor...

Down into the city centre....

I made a friend on the tyne bridge...

Into Sandyford...

Snack time at the top of Shields Road...

Hills, hills and more hills...

Escaping down into the Dene for a while...

The hill of death out of the Dene (pictures don't do this beast justice)...

Through to Gosforth High Street, only a few miles to go!

Got a bit lost and ended up coming out from here...

Less than a mile to go...

Homeward bound....

Finished thanks to these little champs!
