Pomegranate is within a couple of hundred metres so we'll not have far to go. If you can't manage for a drink,
the Arabian Nights Room at Pomegranate is downstairs, to the left of the main entrance, and you
don't need to go into the restaurant itself. One last thing,villeneuve wines in broughton street is
round the corner from Pomegranate if you've forgotten to get your tipple for the evening.

AWAYDAY Saturday 5th October at 0930.
Hi everyone, as we are now in the midst of Autumn its time we took the
Saturday run out of the city again!. This time the plan is to run
through South Queensferry (from the sea front) to Hopetoun House, round
the back of the estate to Abercorn and back to where we started.
The date will be Saturday 5th October at 0930.
For Fiona's beginner groups, there is a shorter run to Hopetoun House gate and back (still a really picturesque run) approx. 3.5 - 4 miles.
If possible can joggers car share to get out to South Queensferry.
The Railway Bridge café is just opposite the car park and has outside seating for anyone who wants to stay for a coffee and cake after.
A further email with directions and hopefully a map of the route, however there will be enough jog leaders there to keep everyone on track.
For this run all proceeds from the usual Saturday run will be donated to Alzheimers Scotland.
Attached is a map Brendan has sent to indicate parking, will send a route of the map nearer the time.
http://gb.mapometer.com/ running/route_3661444.html
(zoom out to see where the car park is
indicated, there may be a cruise ship visit on the day, if thats the
case the parking is more restricted, but there will be ample parking on
Hawes Brae - just next to Hawes inn).
Also if I've missed anyone off the email list apologies, but please forward on to anyone you think might be interested.
If you are able to come, if you can let me, Brendan or Fi know that would be helpful just to have an idea of numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

sunday yoga for runners
This is a beginners/intermediate class particularly suitable for
running and endurance sports. It aims to help runners to run more
comfortably, safely and maybe even improve their PBs. . By focusing on
breath exercises it encourages expanding lung capacity, breath control
and tuning-in to the bodies' oxygen needs. Focusing on the breath can
calm and clear the mind , a key part of a runners strategy, when things
get tough. The class also focuses on core strength and stability, to
improve stride effectiveness and reduces the risk of injury. Distance
runners' legs experience long periods of repetitive short strides, and
this can get hard wired into muscle memory causing stiffness and reduced
range when not running. The class focuses on hamstring and thigh
stretches, knee stability as well as strengthening and increasing
flexibility of the feet, flexibility particularly legs, hips and back.
The class also builds heat to help increase stamina and aid flexibility
and offers effective supportive cross training.
>What: Vinyasa flow Yoga
When: From 8th September 2013
Where: 10a Broughton Street Lane.

Dear Running Friends
I’m
doing my 9th Great North Run on Sunday 15th September, however this
will be the first time in all of the many races I've entered over the
years that I will be running for charity.
I'm
running to support The Brain Tumour Charity and in memory of a good
running friend whom I met at the Great North Run race many years ago who
sadly died from this disease last November.
I’d
be truly grateful for anything you
can give towards this great cause. If you wish to sponsor me, please
donate through the website below and remember to tick the Gift Aid box
if you are lucky enough to pay
tax!
Also, it would be wonderful if you would forward the link to
anyone you know who may like to donate money to this cause.
Many thanks
Colin Sheal

Four events. Two Days. One Big Weekend.
Four events. Two Days. One Big Weekend.
Scotland is set to host a one of a kind running event this summer in four of its big cities.
Entries are now open for jogscotland One Big Weekend a series of 5k timed runs which will be held over the weekend of Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th August 2013 in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. jogscotlandOne Big Weekend is the national coming together of the jogscotland community - a chance for existing members from across the country to meet up, and for non-members to give it a try.
Over the weekend of August 3rd and 4th 2013, thousands of jogscotland runners, friends and family are expected to gather for the summer’s “must-do” running event in picturesque settings in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Perth. Anyone can take part in the weekend, not just jogscotland members. However by becoming a jogscotlandmember during the entry process, customers will enjoy a discounted entry as well as gaining all the benefits ofjogscotland’s bronze membership for free.
Neil Kilgour, One Big Weekend Race Director, said: “We’re delighted to be working alongside jogscotland to host this new and exciting event in Scotland. One Big Weekend is open to all levels of running ability, offering fitness and fun over one weekend of running.”
“These are so much more than your usual 5k runs - for a start they’re chip timed giving jogscotland members and other runners the chance to work towards a goal and set a personal best. We hope these events will be loved by runners who want to make it an exciting addition to the Scottish running calendar.” Neil added
“We can’t wait to welcome everyone to One Big Weekend. We’ll have two days of really enjoyable, friendly events where people from all over the country can come together and celebrate their love of walking, jogging and running.
“We’re looking forward to seeing lots of jogscotland members, their family and friends – and to welcoming plenty of people who are coming along to find out about jogscotland for the first time. Just like our jog groups, the events will be friendly and supportive, and perfect for people of all abilities.” commented Billy Mitchell, Head of jogscotland
One Big Weekend is an all-inclusive event, where everyone can celebrate their accomplishment, regardless of what that may be – whether it’s achieving a PB, raising money for your favourite charity, or just crossing the line with friends. Prizes will be awarded to celebrate first over the line and other great individual achievements among participants. Every runner will also receive a quality medal and goody bag.
ENTRIES are now open for jogscotland One Big Weekend on 3rd/4th August 2013. Go to the website atwww.jogscotlandonebigweekend.com

fancy a training camp in Tiree?
£50 discount for jogscotland members- read on;
I particularly wanted to offer a
discount to JogScotland groups for the Tiree Training Camp. We run a
camp in Majorca which is nearly full but I'm really keen to develop the
camp here on Tiree. I'm offering £50 off the camp fee and if there's a
group of you that are interested in coming over we could look at
including a free place. Here's some brief details:
Tiree Training Camp
- 5 Days: 21st - 26th March 2013
- Warm Tiree hospitality - accommodation, breakfast, lunch and evening meal provided as well as some evening entertainment
- Plenty of quality all round fitness training and a full body shape up, as well as getting you ready to take on any events or challenges you've entered
- Activities include jogging, mountain biking around the island, trail and beach running, functional strength training and some fun team challenges
- All abilities catered for - we'll ensure it's very positive, encouraging and will build you up so you go home fired up and fighting fit!
- Fully qualified coaches: including Personal Trainers, a pro-level triathlete and a Commonwealth Games cyclist
There's more details about everything we do at Tiree Fitness and the camps at http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/coaching/training-camps/
Tiree 10k and Half Marathon
- 4th May 2013
- 7th year of the 10k race and the first time we've included a half marathon option
- Start line on the beach. Finish on the beach - Everything in between is on single track roads following the coast
- Beautiful views out to sea and distant islands
- Undulating course with twists and turns which is altogether a very enjoyable run
- Local band Trail West play the evening dance to round off a spectacular day
Entries are open and more information can be found at http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/events/tiree-10k/
If
you cant make it over to Tiree for these events but like the idea then
please share this with your contacts or put a link to the website on
social media. It would be great to offer future training opportunities
like this and that depends on making this first Tiree camp really
successful. Thank you for your help.
If you need any further details just give me a call or drop me an email.
Thanks and Happy Training!
