Hey Guys,
Just six months after giving birth to her third child, BBC newsreader Sophie Raworth will be putting on her running shoes for the Great North Run.
Sophie, 40, recently voted ninth-sexiest female newsreader ever, agreed to take part in the half-marathon during her pregnancy.
"They say you do crazy things when you are pregnant," says St Paul's-educated Sophie. "Mine was to sign up to do the Great North Run. So in between the feeding and the nappies, the two other children and starting work again this month, I've been trying to run.
"This year, it may be a case of just getting round the course. But I'm determined to do it."
Sophie will be raising money for the Neonatal Unit at St George's Hospital, Tooting, South London, where she is a patron.
"I visited their unit and saw the tiny babies they're trying to help," she says. "It made me realise just how lucky I've been to have three very big and healthy children."
The Great North Run is on Sunday 5th October 2008 and is being shown live on BBC 1.

Best of luck Sophie, will be thinking of you.
