Hiya


I`ve been on a strict diet lately and i`ve managed to lose 2.5 stone. I`m not exactly fighting fit but i walk at least 5 miles a day.


How far would you expect me to run if i was to give this a go????? What date is the run? How long have i got to train??


Can i say i`ve not got a clue and i`d need help lol. But i`d be willing to give it a try for all the wee "pointies" out there.


Sha


I live in Musselburgh East Lothian

Hi Sha if doing the relay you would need to do 10k. It takes place in May. As you probably know we stay in Longniddry so if you were wanting to do the race and fancy meeting up closer to the time to train that would be great

You've done really well loosing 2.5 stone and are probably fitter than me! I have spent an hour this am at physio having my pelvis put back in place but everything crossed should be back training next week after 3 weeks off

Hi Amanda!!!!!


Thanks, a training partner sounds a fab idea. I am really interested and i only live 10 mins up the road from you. I don`t have kids (well i do but they are 17 & 19 lol!) so i could come down to longniddry to train no prob as it may be easier for you. Maybe once Christmas and New Year are out the way we could arrange something???


That is if you need me for the relay.


Talk soon


Sha x

Hi


Just a quick update again - we now have two full teams running in the Hairy Haggis Relay


and I have just received an application form from someone who is doing the full marathon for GAL.


Thanks to you all for agreeing to take part - this means that all being well, we should be on target to raise a minimum of £1,500 on the 27th May when the event takes place.


We still have two more places left - they can be filled  by  a team of four people or individuals.


Have a great Christmas everyone - I will be in touch early in the New Year to send out further details.

Hi Sha


Yes you are down for the second team with Amanda, Sharon and Michelle so it is now full unless anyone has changed their mind over the festivities


Sounds like you have had a good Christmas like me! 


I have sent you a PM with further information and will be in touch with all the applicants shortly to confirm details.


Happy New Year to all


 


Lorna

Well I think Phil will be well and truly fed up with me by May! After lots of moaning that I was never going to be able to run the 10 k I went out today and ran further and faster than I thought I could. I have got a lot of work to do but I am getting there!! Lots of apologies to Phil for being a stroppy mare I can tell you!

Ok I know everyone on the forum is very generous but I thought you might like a look at the Skinny Hounds fund raising page so you can keep an eye on our progress www.justgiving.com/AmandaRoyall

The Skinny Hounds and Haggis Hounds aim to raise at least £1000 between us for Gal.

As the event draws nearer it is great to see all the fundraising pages emerging on the Just Giving web site.  Why not take a look and see how the fundraisers are doing for GAL  :  http://www.justgiving.com/process/ParticipantSearch/default.asp?_FundraiserId=177790

We also have someone running individually in the Lochaber Marathon for us.

If anyone else is still interested in the Edinburgh event - I have one place left for the Marathon (or for a team of 4 people to do the Hairy Haggis Relay).

GAL will also be manning a Water Station on the day along the course at Port Seton Links.  This is where our "cheering station " will be so anyone is welcome to come along and help out or give the runners some encouragement along the course! 

More details will follow nearer the time, but if anyone is interested in helping out with the water station, please let me know.  You will need to be prepared to be in Edinburgh early on the morning of 27th May as we will be setting up at 9am.

Free BBQ and T shirt to all who help a long with a £15 donation from the Marathon to GAL!  We need 15 helpers and have 9 so far.

Thank you

Hi everyone

Now that the London Marathon is out of the way - I hope as many of you as possible can make it along to watch our runners in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 27th May.

We have a cheering station at Port Seton Links and there will be a colourful display from GAL to give us a much promotion as possible and make us visible to the runners as they pass by.

Myself and a team of kind volunteers will be manning the waterstation there too - please come along and give us your support! It is rumoured that Scooby Doo might make an appearance at the event too.................(hope it's not too hot a day for you Scooby!).

Thanks to all the efforts of the runners with their fundraising and training. So far they have raised online £838 with just over a month to go until the event. Well done and keep up the good work.

If anyone would like to help at the waterstation or cheering point, we still have some vancancies to fill.

We have now filled all our charity places and have three teams running and two full marathon runners.
See you on the day and I hope you all enjoy yourselves.
