Saturday 10th January blew in cold, wet and very windy. A couple of thousand hardy souls, Helen and I included, turned out in Holyrood Park to run 5k round Arthur's Seat. Niall and Michele ran with us, and Calum did the junior 2k run in the morning. It was tough going. The climb up to Dunsapie Loch is a stiff one, and the wind was in our faces coming round the back to the Commonwealth pool. The home straight was downhill with a following wind, but by then the legs were heavy as lead. Still, I managed a 24:59, and Helen did 29:41, both of us coming in just inside our target times, which is pretty good going. Helen hated every minute of it, and has vowed not to run again for a very long time!
The main thing though, is that as of today we've raised £1636.01 for the Sick Kids on our Justgiving page. It's a great total, and much more than we expected to raise, so a big thank you to all friends, family and colleagues who donated so generously. The page is open for donations until 10th April, so tell your friends!
More non-running content coming soon...
