lovely castle run tonight with mince pies, 'home made' stollen & non alchoholic mulled wine for afters. Funds raised for face charity.

thankyou to Ali & Andrew for leading & magicking up the pies & mulled wine.

do you get your 150 a week?

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who runs or leads with us for making a real difference! Apparently Scots are more likely than those in any other part of the UK to hit the Government target of 150 minutes of physical activity every week!

It's fantastic to see this positive news - makes a change from all the horror stories we hear about the health of Scots. We're sure jogscotland has played a part in that, so well done to you all for being part of the good news.

So Tuesday 15th December at 7pm will be a Christmas theme with all runners with hats ,lights & smiley faces. ALL WELCOME

Andrew has come up with a great idea and is going to take a charity run on 

Tuesday 15^th December.

 He will charge £2 each which will go to charity.

 All runners should dress up in bright colours for Xmas and 

wear Santa hats if you have one. 

It’s all for charity and a good bit of fun if you are free.

All monies going to FACE 'Fight Against Cancer Edinburgh'.

 The route will be between 6-7km max . & weather dependant.

Mince pies & Mulled wine after.

Cheers

 Andrew Dean

jogscotland awayday at portobello parkrun

it was a cold & wintry Saturday morning, but Katharine & Miranda joined me at

 Portobello parkrun.

we ran out of parkrun before we had quite finished the full time,but finished at the end just the same.

no interventions by geese & a fair bit of sunshine in a very pretty park.

we repaired to portobello for a coffee afterwards.

results were with me by the time I had battled along the prom against the headwind. 

looks chilly- doesn't it?

the wwjogscot email account was hacked this [sunday morning]

sorry for the inconvenience. 

if you got any of these emails, please delete & as a precaution, change your password.
