Bute Highland Games

Brilliant day out today at Rothesay with a bunch of Bellas running in the Bute Highland Games 10k. Great weather for the best part of the day -- almost a little too warm for racing. Ran the distance according to plan, at marathon pace with Andy, Maddie and Stevie -- great photo opportunity finish when I grabbed Stevie's hand as we sprinted for the line and we both simultaneously did a superman -- hope somebody got the picture. The four of us set off as a team and we finished as a team. There were some good race performances from the other Bellas. Thanks to Louise and Craig for support -- Louise took the team picture -- looks great in the centre arena surrounded by crowds. Had time to shoot the breeze with Bobby Kath and Marina from Clydesdale -- all ran good races. Also managed a quick hello with Mark Coyle from Motherwell -- great to see him back. Afterwards a few lemonades before catching the ferry home. Many thanks to Andy and Maddie for the lift to and from the ferry, good craic and some great music.
