Achilles Heel Runners

Well finally found out the cause of all my colds and sniffles and got it sorted by a course of antiobiotics from my doctor and a week in bed. It's almost certainly cost me the Edinburgh Marathon as I've lost so much training time. Still ran the Edinburgh to North Berwick 22 mile road race in 3.09.44 with Marina and her friend Elaine from Clydesdale who did a lot better than me -- well I've been no well !!! Deciding to let the marathon go has taken a lot of pressure off me -- I've been running for fun !! Having a good time out with the group from Achilles Heel, the running shop in the West End of Glasgow see picture). They're a great bunch of guys.The others have been doing well. Stevie finished London in around 3.03 and Marina finished Paris with a new PB. Can't remember the exact time-- under 3.40 I think. She has also been doing well in cross country. Off to support my friends in the Women's 10k tomorrow and competing myself in the new Men's 10k in Glasgow on June 18 -- compared to the marathon it's a lot less of a challenge !!!
