some of the 15 WW JS runners who registered for the run before heading off around the lagoons on the 10K route-
shots of ice-cream have been removed to protect the innocent - it was messy! but it was a hot & successful day so i expect it was delicious.

adult runners breakfast habits...

We [the university of roehampton-rather than me & brendan!!] are launching a new questionnaire study designed to investigate the breakfast habits of adult runners.  The study is carried out by the Health Sciences Research Centre at Roehampton University (London), under the leadership of Dr Sue Reeves, and by the Centre for Health & Wellbeing Research Centre at University of Northampton, under the leadership of Professor Jorg Huber.
The questionnaire will take around 15 minutes to complete although this may vary slightly.  The questionnaire can be found online at the following web address:
Hopefully your participation will help provide a better understanding of the role of breakfast in physical activity that will be of benefit to all runners.  In addition we offer you the opportunity to take part in a prize draw for a chance to win one of four £25 M&S vouchers.
Thank you for your interest, if you would like further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

postrunbrunch fundraiser news

this just in from Susie;
When I added all up monies and calculated the Gift Aid, the final total was £757.  Isn’t that fantastic?  What a great bunch of people we are…and modest too!
 
Once again, many thanks to everyone who came along and made it a lovely social Saturday and to those who made donations but didn’t manage to come along.  As Nesh said “It was funny seeing people with their clothes on!”  We may have to do it again as Stuart brought along a case of beer which wasn’t touched! 
 
Great run this morning Brendan, especially given my alcohol levels from last night’s birthday dinner……..serious training for Aberfeldy starts now!

Like running? Like good tunes? Like eating cake?



If you said yes to any of these, then the good news is the ERN LP RUN and cake competition is back!  At 11am on Sunday 19th August at Meadowbank Stadium. 
 For our 3rd year, bigger and better than ever before.  
This year in aid of local charity, Cruse Bereavement Care South East Scotland.

The run is based on the oldest race in Houston, Texas now in its 45th year.  
For the ipod generation here is a short explanation.  
On the crack of the starting pistol you run as many Revolutions Per Minute (laps) of the track as you can during 33 and a third minutes, all the while listening to top tunes from the
 60s, 70s and 80s.
 Entrants are responsible for counting their own laps but there will be independent verification of the front runners and prizes for the top male and female finishers, as well as spot prizes. 

Edinburgh Running Network (ERN) members love their cake, so bring along an entry to the cake competition too. The cakes will be judged as the race is run and prizes awarded for the Tastiest Cake, the Best Dressed Cake and Best Traybake. Then, after the race in done and dusted, arguably the best bit - tea, coffee and cake!

There are fire-engine red technical T-shirts to order when you enter, and you can also suggest your favourite running track, from the 60s, 70s or 80s, to accompany your run on the day.

ERN is one of the friendliest running clubs in Scotland. Come along and find out just how much we love to run, and eat cake.
