It is my mum's brithdy on June 13th, and mine on the 4th and my oldest daughters on the 23rd - so June is good month.
It would be great to meet up with you.
Certainly wont be running the Edi Marathon - but if you head for the Sports Massage area at the end you will find me, working hard to put everyone back together !!
Sore knees today - stuggled to stay upright on the speed bumps...not easy to see when ur trying to dodge the masses
Geordie Girl - I'll definitely look out for you in the sports massage section - if you are still there by the time I finish!
Thanks in advance. By my watch i made it about 67mins.

I'm recorded as 80.04 - 4 secs of my target...chuffed, given the heat....going with the internet and ditching the paper !!

Sarah - check yours too!
I have 2 Evening Times to spare if anyone wants one - I picked 2 up for my pals and they had the same idea too! Happy to post them out to anyone who doesn't live in the Evening Times area - just e-mail me you addresses.
Still annoyed about the 250m bit but I am coming around to thinking it is just good that I took part, etc, etc. My problem is that I am going on my times before I had my last baby and want to get back there too soon!
Moving on now to the GSR half! EEK!
June
That is all the info they have at present.The full route should be posted soon. Not sure how I fee about the change - i mean the Kingston bridge for heavens sake. I presume they will have lay on baggage transfer from Gerorge Square to Glasgow green too. The great thing about starting at Glasgoew Green was the space and the heat in the glass house at the peoples palace.
Congratulations to you all
Mum on the run - I forgot to say - your time was great. It takes longer than you think to fully recover from having a baby. They say it actually takes a full 18 months for your body to get over it!
Also, because of the scale of the event it can't really be relied upon to give a true reflection of your ability. Add to that the mercurial nature of our weather and any injuries that you may have had it does make things uncertain.
I always go into the ladies 10k with little or no expectation in terms of results. I never aim for a PB in it. When people ask how I expect to do I usually say somewhere between 2 times - which a owrk out based on the previous years time and my current performance. So this I year went saying that I would be happy with somewhere between 51 and 52. And whilst i know that i can do sub 50 and would dearly love to do that at the ladies 10k one day, I did not set my heart on it and so avoided any disappointment.
In general with my running I have found that if I set my heart on a time I rarely get it. It is as if i am putting too much pressure on myself, but it has taken a number of disappointments for me to become philosophical about it all. All I know is that the last thing you need in a race is added pressure. You perform better if you are relaxed and comfortable and not really bothering about the times. This may be easier for me to say as I am not particularly competitive, although I do like to set myself challenges, but you can overdo it.
The main thing is to enjoy the training and events, be relaxed, listen to your body and avoid injury - and to remember there will always be another race another day.
just got back on plane from mini-hol in glasgow and read the paper on the plane - page 3(?) big story ........FR Services (who run the chip thing for glasgow.gov.uk) have admitted they **cocked up the times** - they sent the total race times to the paper ie that don't account for the difference in starting times of runners - instead of the chip times ie true times for from going over the line
EVENING TIMES is being republished tomorrow with correct times and website has correct times now appararently
Apparentlyl the last runner crossed the start line 34mins after the race start - so her time will be 34mins better than the official one published at first !!!
bet she'll be pleased.....
