Edinburgh Running Network, a local running club in Edinburgh to which a few Westwood JS have also been members, have organised a dedicated session at the Run & Become store with a talk from a Brooks specialist on how to find the perfect sports bra, then a chance to try on stock, and buy if you wish (discount to be confirmed but no pressure to buy - It has been organised before Christmas so you've time to write to Santa).

If you are interested, please let Emma Lougheed know by emailing 
social@edinburghrunningnetwork.org.uk  The event is free but we would like to have an idea of who is attending.

Come & meet the Bra called Fiona!

other bras in the moving comfort range also available.

South Queensferry Run, Saturday 10th December 2016 1000hrs.

Hi Everyone,

South Queensferry Run, Saturday 10th December 2016 1000hrs.

As winter and dare I say it Christmas is fast approaching I thought it would be a good time to have another South Queensferry run (memory run for Alzheimer's).  This time the other side of South Queensferry through Dalmeny Estate.

Colin and I have looked at a run of approximately 8 miles

 (there will be shorter versions for those who wish a slightly shorter route). 

Then after the run to meet for coffee & Bacon rolls/cake at a local cafe.

We pretty well have the route sorted, Brendan is working on shorter routes so just a little fine tuning now.

If you are interested could you let either Colin or I know so we have an idea of how many of you are coming so we can put helpers in place if required to keep us on the right tracks and also for catering purposes.

As always the run will be £3.00 with all proceeds going to Alzheimers Scotland.

When we have an idea of numbers I will email out further instructions.  There will be ample parking but would be good if there is a possibility of lift sharing.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Ali
