Summary
Prime Minister Andy Burnham just smashed the Great North Run, becoming the first sitting PM to finish under two hours—and he’s doing it for a cause. Running for homelessness charity Changing Lives, he crossed the line looking tired but triumphant, joking about his running shorts and praising the nation’s spirit. He’s pledged to donate part of his salary and keep racing—even with his busy job—because tackling homelessness is a moral mission. Meanwhile, elite runners Zouhair Talbi and Brigid Kosgei took top honors in their respective categories. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
