Anne's 50th party

Congratulations to Anne who celebrated her 50th birthday with friends on Saturday night. A great time was had by all, including these two male Dunbar Club runners whose Hi NRG dancefloor tomfoolery should not go unappreciated.

GOATS GALLOP - 25th November 10:30

Have you done the Goats Gallop before?

“Yes” – well then, you’ll obviously want to do it again.

“No – Why ever not?? Get that situation sorted…

HELP have once again extended an invite for us to take part in the Goats Gallop. This run has it all… hills (both up and down), roads and paths. The route goes from Longyester, up Lammer Law, down by Hopes Reservoir then a fast road section back.

The run starts and ends at Longyester at 10:30.

Highly recommended.

Getting a PB........

Travelling a bit further afield, at the Amsterdam Marathon on Sunday,
Brian Davidson finished in an excellent 3:18:48, Neil Jones in 3:59:26
and Theresa Leslie 4:23:30 - pb's for both Brian and Theresa (who
could still be celebrating as they haven't left Amsterdam just yet!).
Congratulations all for getting another 26.2 miles under the belt.

On Saturday, Sheila Morrison took part in the Antonine Trail Half
Marathon, following the Roman Antonine wall in the Kelvin Valley. A
tough, muddy, but enjoyable event - Sheila finished in 2:43, adding to
her tally of unusual events.

On the 7th October, Lee Curtis ran the popular Kielder Marathon,
finishing in 3:44:50 - well done Lee.

Katy Gardiner achieved a pb on the same day running in the Bupa Great
Edinburgh 10K with a time of 55:15. Another "Congratulations".

Sheila also ran the Linlithgow 10K the previous Sunday, finishing in 58:56.

Well done everyone.

Please let Anne know of any events you have taken part in for the club
news (or feel free to post your own reports/stories). Some results
pages aren't very search friendly, so apologies if anyone has been
missed out.

Photo's from the top of the hill (and near the end)

For those of you too focused on the path in front of you....there should be a picture of every runner here. This is the view you might have missed.
