I'm a member of Motherwell AC and tis a great club, if your interested go to the website. We meet 2 nights a week and have all levels of runners....

Where were you from.....?
What you doing down in the big smoke..?
Glasgow will line the streets for your homecoming!
Its a blast running through the city streets that are usually clogged with cars and running the bridge is magic!
Checked out your website SH - thanks, but recon that I will probably go with HH as they meet to train less than a mile from my house.
Training going fine
PB at the Monklands half followed by PB at the Helensburgh 10k, so pleased about that.
Now looking forward to Stranraer half on Saturday.
Nothing booked between then and the GSR.
Good luck at Stranraer!
No, on holiday at the time of the Vale run and with Stranraer booked I thought the others would not be a good idea. But I really enjoyed the Helensburgh run and will look at the series for next year.
Just been for a plod round the Castle Avenue circuit with a bit added to get it up to 4.4m. Last run before Saturday's half.
How you doing in the build up to the GSR?
I see that they haven't got the 'whose entered' bit up and running yet!
I'm saying I've entered but my names not appearing on the "Who's entered" section. Anyone else getting the same problem.
Still recovering from Edinburgh marathon but definitely on the mend now.
I ran 1.34 here last year, 1.31 at Edinburgh Forthside this year, so would love to get close to that 1.30 this time around.
I wonder if we'll get jelly beans again this year at 12 miles!
I enrolled the day the website opened on the 29th March and have sent a few emails on the 'whose entered' thing.
The first time I got whitewashed with 'check again next week'. The second time I got ignored!! and the third time I got a reply telling me that they were having trouble with the entry logging system but if I had a confirmation from Scottish Athletics then my entry was through OK.
I have checked a few people I know who have entered and it is only the girls who did the dual entry with the ladies 10k that are on the 'whose in' at the moment.
Great times! Good luck with the training to break the 90mins!
I missed the jelly beans last year so I hope I get another chance!
How does this sexist attitude fit with Glasgow City Councils non-discriminatory policy....
What sort of time you hoping for SFC?
Mine is off the credit card, same day 29th!
Would love for blistering pace like you! But set my PB at the Monklands Half on the 20th. 1:48:03. Hoping to get that down a little at Stranraer on Saturday - but we'll see.
Kinda wishing I hadn't entered this now when I found a novice tri on the same day - but Grantown is sooo much further away, plus I am quite addicted to my GSR medal & Tunnocks Caramel Wafer :-)
Big event for me this one. I'm turning 40 in September. It'll all be downhill from there. Still, I'll be classified as veteran in some events which does have some benefits.
I used to leave my kit in the tent all the time; you can't get in to that area without a race number. So far I've never been robbed by a fellow runner...
I changed in the car too and was glad I did, it was a bit of a hike round the finishing pens to get to the baggage tents at the end.
Just getting back into training for Eastkilbride half, not long now........
:-))
SFC, training so far going fine for the half. Enjoy Stranraer.
Captain Haddock, while I will admit a lot of things certainly do succumb to gravity after the age of 40, fitness and outlook on life don't have to go downhill! And good strong lycra helps all other bits which do!
I turm 40 last September,its not all bad you get some great gifts...
:-))
Kara - did you do a joint entry 10k and GSR? The world is not ready for me in lycra no matter how big the advantages may be! lol
Scottish - whippersnapper!
