Glasgow Women's 10k

Thousands of women took to the streets of Glasgow to run in the biggest 10k race of its kind in the country. I have lots of friends running so I turned up to support them -- seeing how they would not let me run !!! Almost the entire Bellahouston Friday morning circuit class seemed to be running -- and I must give Anne-Marie from the Scotctoun Saturday Bodypump class a special mention for finishing in a blistering 48 minutes. It was a great family fun day with the entertainment being provided by the Glasgow Club fitness coaches compered by Sharon (Davina) Campbell. Next race for me is the new Glasgow Men's 10k on June 18. Had to drop the Edinburgh Marathon. I've lost three weeks crucial training to a severe sinus infection -- I'm still not able to run -- so Edinburgh will have to wait for another year. Lost a lot of running time to illness this year -- well we're human beings, not machines -- sometimes I tend to forget that and push myself a little too hard !!!
