new year resolution 2010??

The Bupa Great Winter Run is a 5k running event and the perfect way to start the year for every runner as it takes place on Saturday 9th January in Holyrood Park , Edinburgh . The senior event is open to all ages and abilities of 14 years and over and we also hold a Bupa Junior Great Winter Run on the same day over a distance of approximately 2.5km to encourage youngsters of ages 7-13 years to get fit too. Bupa Great Edinburgh International X Country After the Great Winter Run has finished there should be a cracking atmosphere at the Bupa Great Edinburgh International Cross Country, an annual event held on the same day as the Winter Run, again in Holyrood Park , that attracts the world's best middle distance runners – and it's free to watch the action. The event will be televised live on BBC One 1pm - 2.30pm.

jedburgh 10k

a small posse of westwoods joggers popped down to jedburgh for a challenging 10k,all did very well.

Gillian ,Brendan,Norrie & Joyce took part.

[along with a number of others]

gillian said:The Jedburgh 10km was a different experience from Saturday's 5km park run. A race on a much larger scale. Having done the halfie there quite often I decided to give the 10k a go for a change. Nobody had told me thay kept all the hilly bits from the halfie in the 10k course and removed the long flat straights. Between that and the wind I found it one tough race. Good value for a £10. And although I was puffing to much to appreciate it I'm told it was a very scenic course. Watch time was 57.50 which will do me fine on a day and course like that

well done to all at the jogscotland awards 2009

especially to Irene McDonald-but good work to Brendan coming 2nd. Leader of Year Winner: Irene McDonald – Jogging Buddies/Glasgow Running Network Brendan Brodie – Westwood's Health Centre Jacqueline Reid – Ayrshire Central

run for burma 5k in inverleith park

At least 17 joggers turned out from westwoods jogscotland groups & had a lovely run around their home training grounds. Some unwelcome ups made the course more harder work than it first looks,but better than last saturdays race around arthur seat. However ,everyone finished & congratulations to Isobel & Paula who have now completed their first 5k & also their jogscotland intermediate1 courses .
