Mary says that the queue of runners at the water crossing with Ian
Rowland in it looks like the scene from the full monty, even the hand
movements are the same. In another photo, Fiona looks to have made
some new friends as they all linked together crossing the river.

Thanks to Jim for these..
On the same day as the WHO raised the level of swine flu to “pandemic”, Dunbar Running Club wish to raise the state of alert of their current “Lurgy” outbreak from “Aww, poor you” status to full “Jesus! Keep away fi’ me wi’ that”.
The results from the first summer series race can be found at http://eastlothiansummerseries.blogspot.com
There’s also some photos..
It wasn't only the runners who got sunburn on Sunday...More fun than the Euro Elections and probably more relevant to most peoples lives, the results of our last poll are now in.
38% of respondents stated that they enjoy running on the beach, which was 5% more than the 33% who said they liked the open road (may be slightly less than 33% after some runners altercation with the tarmac at Edinburgh J ).
Surprisingly 47% said they like to run over hill and dale and a massive 66% reported a distinct fondness for forest and woodland paths (so – given that, we’ll see most of you at next winters cross country races).
The most surprising finding was that 52% reported they enjoyed “running alone”. A club for people who like to run alone? There’s a novelty.
Please find another exciting and deeply relevant poll to the right hand side of this sentence…..
That’s the one… to the right and up a bit……
