us that there is nowhere local to buy good quality running gear.

cycling clothing from Sweden which comes at reasonable
prices. So we have built up a selection of their running kit in
both mens and womens ranges:

• base layers
• shirts
• shorts
• capris
• tights
• jackets

Sunday Run - Sunday 29-May

Ahead of Scout’s uphill GB junior trial race in Keswick on 12 June I have planned an uphill only trial for her on Cademuir on Sunday 29 May. It will be approx 3.5k starting from the bottom of the Morning Hill field, mostly on the John Buchan Way then the direct path to the top. If anyone is interested in joining in could they call or text me on 07545 322750. Subject to interest, it would be informally handicapped (based on ½ Gypsy Glen times or equivalent form) although if some want to run in pairs or small groups that would be fine. Meet at the road end by Tanta 10.00am for a 10.15am start. Propose re-group at the top before making your own way back, whether direct or via the other summit and “the roller-coaster” path.

Gypsy Glen Hill Race 2011 - Results

Results now available....see link here

Well done to Sarah (35:27) for a fine win (and new Ladies course record !) for the Ladies, after a real battle with Susan Ridley.

Mike McG didn't have it all his own way this year, with  a strong contingent from Edinburgh and Fife taking the first four places; Mike's 5th place (34:29) good enough still for first Vet and Wull was 8th (35:19) for 3rd Vet.

Further down the field, Kenny knocked a full minute off his previous GGHR best with 37:35, holding off the fast finishing Scout Adkins 37:46.

Julia finished in 40:54, ahead of Eddie Balfour 41:45, reversing their recent Screel Hill Race result.

Well done too, to our celebrity Scott Hasting who completed the course in 48:55 - not bad for your first hill race !!

Well done to all involved, including the Peebles Community Councel for agreat wee race

Edinburgh Marathon Report 22 May

I did the Edinburgh marathon, with an outside hope of breaking the big 3hr barrier. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, but I had a vast improvement on my disaster in 2009, and finished in 3.05:27 in 244th out of 6700 odd. It was an understatement to say it was windy and I wasn't able to use the tailwind on the way to build up a big enough buffer for the onslaught in the return leg. I was still hanging in there fairly well at about 21 miles but the energy I had used to stay on pace since the turn at mile 17 started to tell and I struggled the last five miles dropping about a minute a mile. I have a vivid memory at Prestonpans when we were greated with horizontal rain gusting at about 40 mph, thinking that it felt like someone had squashed me with an mattress and got on top!!

All in all I am happy with the performance and I will have to see if I have another crack one time. A banner I saw on the way round made me smile - "pain is temporary, 3hrs is for ever".

Cheers, Colin
