pre christmas goals reached & runs enjoyed








15 joggers took to the streets, & the cycle paths to enjoy a festive run on a lovely sunny crispy day.



Brendans group headed off along the seafront to silverknowes prom at an [s]easy[onal] pace & got back just in front of Fionas group of intermediate2 stalwarts who were doing their 60 minute run today through upmarket Granton.



everyone had a successful run & were very pleased with themselves as the picture shows. well done.

When we returned to the club there was mulled tea[well,it was only 10.30!] & jelly babies & chat without the puff.

seasons greetings for the next few weeks- see you at the prom on the 1st, & then back at

Westwoods on January 5th,7th or 9th for the 2010 program starting.

see Marcus at Westwoods if you haven't signed up for Tuesdays & Thursdays yet.

see us for Saturdays

all the best Fiona & Brendan

saturday running

Hi Happy Runners,
Almost the end of the running year and only a couple of Westwoods runs remain before the break.
The last Saturday run is this coming Saturday morning (19th) and is a perfect way to set yourselves up for the festive season ahead - burn those calories before loading up with christmas carbs.

Its a £3 "pay as you go" session (no need to book) and Brendans group leaves from Westwoods at 9.30am, we'll be out for about an hour - all abilities welcome.
Fionas early group start as usual at 9.15- for an hour too!
If you're unable to join us on 19th then don't despair! 1st January is the renowned "Portie Promathon" 4 miler, starting at the Seafield Cat and Dog Home 11.30am - blow away the old year cobwebs and set yourself up for a cracking new year ahead. More info at http://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/index.php?p=80&itemType=fixtures&itemId=11608
If you're joining us for this one it's advisable to get there for registration by 11am - now, that's not too bad. Its a busy run but caters for all abilities. Brendan's usually at the back having a party! Bring warm clothing.
Thanks for the great support we've had at Westwoods this year looking forward to even greater achievements and fun in 2010.
See you out there at some point soon,
Brendan and Fiona
